Back in 1966 & 67, I used to live in Minehead & take the piss out of the local morrismen, little did I know that in 1968 I was to join the RAF as an apprentice at RAF Halton, that would take me to RAF Coningsby & I would then go to Lincoln rock festival & stay in the "folk tent"! There I saw Harvey Andrew, burning bush! Ran Folk clubs at Coningsby, Luqa Malta, Brize Norton, Then Stanford in the Vale Folk Festival, Folk for MS, White Horse Folk Festival still going! My Eldest Tom, is at this moment at a pub up the road post dancing with Icknield way morris men! How wrong you can be when you are only 15!

Good, it would be good to see you there Bubbles. It was a really good weekend again, weather was good the singing was great, the acoustics in that hall are difficult to match anywhere and the line up was exceptional, so many people giving their time and effort for a great cause. Prob see you at Lechlade.
