WHAT!!! No Vin Garbutt?

Just seen how to do the blue clicky links, so gonna post the website on here.

www.wotnovin.com

Pancrack pictures have also asked a mate of mine for my phone number so they can have a word with me about this for a documentary they are making about Vin Garbutt :0

Makes me think that if it makes enough noise, it may even make Cambridge Folk festival organisers drop the whole politically correct image and actually book a real folk singer :)

Thanks to people who are looking at the site and thnx for the post on guestbook :)

Are you asking if we can all do a Rocky Horror Picture Show dance or are you commenting on the Deja vue from last year when a similar post was made by myself?

Cos if its the latter, lots of people keep throwing ideas and saying they'll buy t-shirts for the campaign, they'll get me a website, they'll put it in the newspaper, etc, etc. I don't want to let all these people down, so i'm trying to make some noise about it.

In a word, NO, there is another thread on this subject running just a few places below this one.
This Vin bloke who is he?
Skipy

Skipy I do hope your taking the p***, But just in case your not Vin Garbutt is probably the most loved Artist on World Wide Folk Scene at the moment and has been for a number of years. He can fill a hall quicker than Avon floodwater. I am not on my own in thinking Cambridge should just be advertised as a Music Festival leave out the Folk I mean after all thats what they've been doing for years now.

This obsession with Vin Garbutt is in real danger of having the reverse effect, I used to love him but now I'm getting sick to death of hearing his name.

I have heard of him,
Never had pleasure of hearing him for myself,always plays to a full house,including at Staithes this year.
One day will get in there and who knows could be another admiring fan for the Mighty one.
I have heard loads of his songs covered by others and they are good listening.

Of course, he also covers other folk's songs, like 'Down by the Dockyard Wall' which is by Shep Woolley.
Like I said, he is now a bit pricy for smaller fests like mine. Shame.

Are you quite sure about that Forsh? Vin is the most amenable of blokes. Get in touch with him rather than through an agent. You never know your luck.
