My wife is. I personally find it a good incentive to get the hell out of the room and shut myself away with a guitar. I'm not sure I'd gnaw a leg off to get away - maybe a finger or two though. It gives Vogon poetry some serious competition.

Terrible about Shula isn't it?
Uncle Tom? gawd it was going down the tubes when Walter Gabriel died and as for Nelson ..... well
never watch it myself, personally
though I have supped in the Bull in Inkberrow.

Folk tunes & performers? Isn't that Pete Shuttler of the Yetties playing the accordian on the Sunday omnibus intro?
I happen to know that Eddie Grundy (well the actor in real life) lives in Upton upon severn and has been known to play in a folk band because the owner of the music shop there (www.uptonmusic.com) plays in several bands sometimes with same actor, allegedly

Giok - yes, I thought that folk music left Ambridge when Tom Forrest died, (leaving only Dross, C&W and line-dancing - though it has to be said that Buffy Davis who plays Jolene used to sing in folk clubs and even came to Herga on one occasion. On the other hand,no, Tom Arnold was married to Roseanne Barr. It was Bob Arnold who played Tom Forrest. He grew up hearing songs because his father kept a pub.

It hasn't been the same folk music wise since "Uncle Tom" died, as he was a folkie in real life.(Tom Arnold)
For our trans-pond colleagues this uncle Tom was not what you may understand by that term, he was Tom Forrest, a character in a long running radio soap. His party piece was invariably "The village pump"....Giok

I had to wean myself off it which was a long and painful process.....too often I was late for meetings because it had got to an exciting bit (sic) and I couldn't leave the radio in my car.I think what they do on long winter evenings is make little Archers *BG*.

How may 'Archers' Fans are there out there? And have you noticed that Folk singing and Music doesn't feature in the programme? What happened to Eddie's songs? - He could perform them in the Bull at a session. Isn't singing and playing in the pubs what we do around here on long winter nights?
