Subject: RE: Traditional Music: Where are we going wrong?
Find lots of vitality in and enthusiasm for folk music at LEWES FOLK FESTIVAL which starts today (8th) and runs until Sunday (13th)

In the previous post Brian Peters (He'll be there) cites Janet Russell and Lucy Ward (They will both be there) as "talented people who find old melodies and the tales attached to them gripping and relevant." Agreed, That is all that is needed. We aim to make our town buzz with the very best that we can offer.

I'm just a septagarian old codger who has been around this music for 50-odd years but I am still trying to work my socks off to give it my best shot. I wish others would try to do the same rather than moaning about it on this forum.
