Hi agin Ali. I've just had a thought for a possible future guest on your programme....Hughie Jones! Reckon it would be fascinating to here him talk of the owd days (and present 'scene' etc). I was always a great fan of the Spinners who, though successful, got some pretty unjustifiable stick from some quarters of the 'orthodox' folk fraternity during their career. The first time i saw em was at the Free Trade Hall, probably in the late sixties and i think they more than anyone turned me on to folk music (they were the only group, i reckon, that could turn the FTH into a folk club!). They brought our 'traditional', and some contempory, music to a lot of people who otherwise would probably never have known it existed. A task that is still difficult to day which is why your programme is so important.

Sorry did i go off on one then.........best regards

Vince
