You are being unnecessarily mean, hannibal - both towards Barry and towards the Uxbridge FC. I haven't seen Barry for some time, but I know that he has written some lovely songs.As for Uxbridge FC I know they started recently (the old club having closed down some years ago), and they could do with encouragement rather than mud-flinging.

And you're doing all that anonymously, of course! Well, this is not my Mudcat or my folk world, so I have this for you, under my full name: Take this axe you have to grind and shove it far, very far up where the sun don't shine.

Agree with my Greek friend. We need to encourage all and any opportunities to promote folk. Invective like this does the whole folk scene no good at all

Maybe Hanibal was an Elsdale regular

Now why libel Elsdale, when the OP was abusing the guest rather than the organiser?

Anyway, "a n other", as an apologist for "hanibal" could you explain how precisely would his/her membership of Elsdale excuse such mean-spirited behaviour on his/her behalf? We all know the answer of course - it wouldn't. So let this useless thread die and let his/her path never cross mine.

Greetings:

Form my vantage point in America I have no knowledge of the particulars. Nevertheless, I must agree with George, Mike, and Kitty that such mudslinging is uncalled for.

If you have any legitimate criticism of a particular club or artist, then please state your specific concerns clearly and factually. For example: "This club allots too much time to its floor singers and not enough to the featured artist" or "This singer has difficulty remembering the lyrics without a cheat sheet." In any event, please identify yourself, preferably by stating your real name, or else by using a consistent Mudcat alias.

Enough said.
