Alas a tad too far for me to renew my aquaintance with the excellent Mr Padgett, but I wish you success with the club; maybe one day if the lord spares me.

Thanks John MacKenzie seasons and other greetings ~

WE are suffering the loss of some great people that have been the bedrock of the folk scene over many years ~ hope you are still singing!

None of us are 100% any more ~ all the best

I was hoping to attract quieter singers and at festivals I ran such events ~ early days yet

I ran the Fred Jordan memorial event at Saltburn for some years

Venues for traditional song and indeed trad music are few

Alan Jones runs his Celtic style music session (12 years now) in the Bar Ruelle 2nd Sunday in the month similar times ~ tunes only as the Barnsley song session
