Its nice to know there are so many helpful people about. Thanx to guest for the info. I'm afraid Watson may not have been completely complementary if he'd prefer to listen to my sax, but thanx to him as well for the BBC link to Shrops. The reason I mentioned the Borders is because there seems a thriving thread of whats on in Shropshire but not much over the borders in H/W and Powys, and I'm not bothered which region I go to in pursuit of music, and BS covers as far as the Buttermarket in Shrewsbury. I'm away to study F A Qs so bye bye for now.
