Come one, come all. It will be good fun, won't it? Mooman, put me down as a likely attender, helper and local assistant. I could possibly get the use of St Andrew's Church hall in the chee de Vleurgat as a performing venue, as we have run several Folk Nights there. Contact me, I'm in the Brussels phone book. There'll be a lot of interest from local folkies, I know.

For travellers, yes the trains here are generally, good, cheap, clean and run on time (if they're not on strike). Cheapest way across the Channel at present is actually on an aeroplane - Ryanair do a pretty cheap deal, if you get in early enough. But you end up down in the South, at Charleroi (beware of the Gilles, they hang out down that way...) - and then, for every flight, there's a bus to Brussels which drops you outside the "Wild Geese" Irish pub (can't be bad, can it?). Better than the rip-off cartelised ferry companies and EuroTunnel, anyway. But, for train-lovers, Eurostar is a good service, even though it's three times as expensive as it should be. But come, anyway - despite its demonisation by the British media, Brussels is a great place to visit. See y'all next year!
