02 Apr 08 - 09:54 PM (#2305080) Subject: RE: BS: I've been to a folk night! From: Richard Bridge Why is this BS? How did you know it was a "folk" night, not some other sort of night? Did the use of the word "folk" mean that people were driven away by the description, as some assert? Did the bands have to pass an exam or meet an appointed standard, as some also assert should be the case? |

03 Apr 08 - 08:17 AM (#2305370) Subject: RE: BS: I've been to a folk night! From: Charley Noble Skipy- It's really OK. There's really very little risk that this will become an addiction. No doubt the session will go belly-up in a month or two if it hasn't already. Or alternatively, it could grow wildly successful and transform into a session for contemporary singer-songwriters! Cheerily, Charley Noble |

It was the launch of the new CD by Crucible, not only a fine folk band but we class them as friends too! I went along thinking that they where simply selling their new CD, I did not until I got there realise that they had hired the top floor of the pub for the evening. Skipy |

I'll keep my fingers crossed that all goes well at Chippenham and other local events. Please Catters, lets keep that 'S' word out of the picture.
