Thankyou shambles. I am a UK folkie I am a UK folkie. You are very lucky to be living in Dorset I agree! By the way, when I went to the Swan last week they were all watching football, I didn't really understand who was playing or what was going on. The class was held in a little side bar and run by this wonderful Irish man called Brendan. It starts off as a class for kids, I know because I got the time wrong and sat with them for the whole class feeling like a bit of an eejit I can tell you. I play the flute and the tinwhistle and there were lots of flute players, fiddlers and accordionists(?) in the class. Bye now
