Title: looking around talkawhile

hi mark,
have you had a chance to have a look around the site yet? do you intend to?
and do you think it's representative of the folk/acoustic music scene in general, and what do you think of the younger folk stars of the future, eg Kat and Jamie, of the more obscure folk which divides audiences, eg bellowhead, and the whole morris dancing thing and stuff like the rapper sword shows of damien barber?

haven't had a proper look around yet - things been pretty hectic - but will do over the nxt few days

i love bellowhead live - it's hard to imagine a better night out
i'm also pretty keen on the whole morris scene - i think it is a fantastic tradition of an england that is in danger of passing in many ways.
when we were the shirehorses we used to devise our own support groups which we would appear in and one of these was the Levenshulme Morris Miner Men who were dressed in pit gear with lanterns on their helmets and danced to a sort of morris/rave crossover in near darkness. genius eh?

Thanks!
Bellowhead divides people around here ;)
Seriously there is a lot of talent lurking on this website, but I think it would be presumtuous of me to mention names.
I personally love damien barber mind!
