Life is running away with me just now. (For a change.) As David forecast, I have more catching up of moth reports to do. I'm going to put the first four dates in this post.

More to follow. However, we are off to Whitby Folk festival on Saturday. I'm not sure how much free time I'll have before we go. It's three years since I gave a public performance. I'm looking forward to it, I've packed all my instruments. I'll be doing plenty of gigs in the coming week. It's very tiring when you do three in a day, but rewarding and lots of fun.
