With Jim Marshall, Vic publishes the (Sussex) Folk Diary, which contributes a lot to the health of the local music scene. He writes for various folk music publications and also broadcasts on the subject for the seasonal station Rocket Radio. Vic & Tina play in a hard-working ceilidh band, The Sussex Pistols. Valmai |

Why not join and nominate them, Dick. as I have pointed out numeroustimesIlive inIRELAND I am a member of Comhaltas,and cannot afford two subscriptions, I recently denoted some money to searchlight to help fight racism,I think that is amore urgent priority. However as Folkie Dave says any member can nominate them,so why doesnt somebody who is a member,please do so. that is why I put this thread up to get the ball rolling,ok. another person who could be considered is Ron Angel,ex Teeside Fettler,songwriter, musican,organiser for many many years[until fairly recently] of Stockton Folk club. |
