Hi Geoff
Would like to think that such a workshop would be possible at any festival or anywhere - if so, I think we would be happy to make the effort to attend.
One of the problems with getting an objective view of the Critics Group stems from the acrimonious manner in which it broke up.
After the 1971 Festival of Fools, Ewan announced that he was going to shift the focus of the work of the group from song to theatre.
The Group split in to amicably - those intending to work on theatre went with Ewan, those wishing to stay with song were directed to the London Singers Workshop.]
After a year, the Theatre group broke up acrimoniously
I has the somewhat daunting task of presenting an account of the work of The Critics at the symposium given for Ewan on his 70th birthday.
For anybody interested in what I had to say, I still have my script, so please PM me with an e-mail address.
