WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!
See 30th April @7.48. I posted about our local Scottish folk club, but as usual, my on topic posts (rare items!) get totally ignored among the morasse of point-scoring, mud-slinging posts off topic between the "usual suspects"!
FWIW it was a SUPERB night at Newtongrange Folk Club last night with guests Fiona Hunter and Mike Vass, and the floor spots were great too. folk music and clubs are very much alive and well in Scotland.
And then there was Edinburgh Folk Club on Wednesday, with a rare, but very welcome visit, from Dave Burland. Excellent support from Emma Leitch and Dougie Mackenzie, accompanied by Brian Miller. I didn't get to that one but it was "live streamed" so was able to watch most of it at home later after getting in from a rehearsal for another folk event.
