Cats, I don't know you and am reading between the lines, so please forgive me if I've got this wrong.

Folk music was fundamental to my personal and social life for many years. When my marriage broke up, all music became unbearable and I completely cut myself off from the folk scene. My partner was well known and I kind of handed over 'custody' of our music and our music friends.

This may not be your own situation but there may be echoes in what you're experiencing. Some years down the line, I still find beautiful music difficult and I still avoid certain people and places. But I don't regret what folk music once gave me and I hope you too find comfort again before too long.

Petra, Cats is an adult and is indeed free to make whatever decision she feels is right for her at this time, but right now, she also needs to know how much she is loved and valued by the people here, Im not going into details, but I for one am happy to say how much I love and value her as a friend, and that when she is ready to come back, or just drop by, Ill be here and happy to welcome her with open arms. Waiting patiently Cats, Love, Lucy xx

Cats is an adult, and free to make whatever decision feels right for her at this time. Folk has an open door and people can walk in and out of it at will, with or without public announcement.

dearest Cats,
I know this is what you feel just now but just never say never. take time out if you need it but you're strong and maybe you'll feel differently in a while. We'll all still be here and are here for you whenever you want and need. Don't let what has been such a huge part of your life disappear for ever. I hold you in my heart and thoughts.`Love, Moira xx

I can't think how to put what I want to write on an open forum so I won't.

Cats, I'm sorry we never got to meet in person. I'll still think of you when I'm there, and I hope somehow you can find your way back in the future - if not there, somewhere that will be equally magical for you.

xx

Jon will be there, no doubt, so I am not going and I won't be going to the carols either. The magic has been destroyed.

Surely you'll still head for Padstow on Mayday?

Cats -- Take care.
Remember me when the candle lights are gleaming
Remember me at the close of a long, long day
It will be so sweet when all alone I'm dreaming
Just to know you still remember me.

I think of you there in the place of my ancestors and it reminds me of the songs about leaving home in the days before electric lights when people sang by candlelight.
Anyway. Take care. Be happy.
Cheers, Joy

Actually Cats, you're not going to be able to leave the folk scene. You're a part of it just as it is a part of you. And we won't let you!!!!!!!!!!
