Was a great night!

AJC - Yes we survived Maghull, it was fantastic.

Villan - Mum's mudcat name is joules.

Was nice to meet people and put some faces to names, hope to get up there again!

How about that. I bought a CD of AJC for the raffle at MRFC.

The person who won it, is not what you call a folkie by any means. So I didn't know if it was going to a good home (so to speak).

Saw him and his wife yesterday and they said "Thanks for the CD, we really enjoyed it"

So it begs the question

Are we doing enough to bring this sort of music to the non folkie people and doing enough to encourage them to attend folk events

Strange you should say that really as a funny thing happened last month.
Radio 2 do a music quiz in the afternoon with Steve Wright and one of the contestants said she was into folk music, Steve Wrights response was something akin to, "I like Eliza Carthy and Kate Rusby", but the woman said her favourite was Anthony John Clarke, Steve Wright had never heard of him and so my Mum (joules) sent him a cd to "Broaden his horizons", which is what she put on the letter.
Apparently he has recently been played on the Johnny Walker spot on Radio 2.
So maybe you're right, maybe we aren't doing enough.
