Geography was never my stong point. I was just making the point that a local band would have a local following - so you would have a core of attendees. I don't know if Pips band has had time to collect a following yet in Faversham. I haven't seen him at the Folk club.

A new committee took over last year. All credit to anyone who puts in time on a voluntary basis. I think they made a few mistakes - like not inviting the morris side we are attatched to. When our local rotary club asked if we could do our usual autumn barn dance on that day I felt less committed to volunteer for the afternoon sessions, and took the paid booking instead.   

There are some towns that welcome the music. Weve just returned from Whitby where lots of local organisations give over their building for a week. Many of the stewards were also local. Hope for us yet.
