Subject: RE: The current state of folk music in UK
Jack - your list can also inclde..

at home..

Family and friends in impromtu informal 'folk' sessions,
around the kitchen table, or in the front room, or even garden and shed...

After pub parties..

That was my experience when I used to travel more and kip round mate's houses...
But we're getting old, and the band stopped gigging;
and over the last decade looking after my mum has taken over...


oh.. and in Lighthouses... well 100 years ago anyway..

A couple of nights ago I watched "The Vanishing"..
A low budget Scotish movie about a 1900 light house mystery.
It was a bit of a disapointment,
but quite a good folk performance from lighthouse keepers
winding down afer a long day..

[I presume at least one of the actors was actually singing and not dubbed...???]
