Splott Man:

How nice to hear from you after all these years. We recently converted our cassette tapes to digital form and on one of them we found a song we haven't sung in over 25 years so we dusted it off and sang it again. It's called "Farewell to the Rhondda" by Frank Hennesy and you sent it to us on a cassette in a previous century.

Sometimes our trips are centered around folk music but this trip isn't so we only plan to get to two folk clubs, one in Dunedin and the other in Rotorua. We'll be in Auckland for three nights but they're not the right ones for folk.

Mainly we're going for the scenery. If it doesn't warm up in the south island pretty soon we'll need to pack our long underwear!
