IN MY OPINION he is a very average guitarist and singer, and I just don't find him amusing. This is an open forum and I'm merely expressing my view. We can't all agree that waving a handkerchief around for ten minutes is remotely entertaining.  |

I'd much rather have a laugh  than a moan  Are those the only alternatives? How about laugh or dance? Laugh or sing? Laugh or picnic? Cake or death?  It's about context and personal beliefs, isn't it? If somebody said to me "read this article in The Sun, it's really funny", and I read it and actually found it not only not very funny, but actually offensive, then the other person's insistence that I've got no sense of humour or that I'm just a moaning git will probably result in two people who can't understand each other at all. Still, "you gotta laugh", as they say. Jules  |

Cake or death? Copywright E. Izzard. And if you have never heard that routine, I urge you to seek it out. One of the funniest things ever (imho). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=csgReYhhVCg |

Mike Harding was a great comic performer, he has also written a few good songs and I believe he has some sort of connection to folk music. It would be good to see him tell a joke again.

Still, at least with Mr. D making this announcement in advance it's cleared the way for when the official line up is announced and we won't have to have this discussion all over again. It also ensures the focus is on him right now, rather than overshadowing (say) who might be closing on the Friday - the, if you will, pre-Digance spot.

I like the idea of John Shuttleworth, but of course it doesn't have to be a "comedy" spot it can be anything the organisers want it to be. A massed Morris, a film about FC down the ages, a popular beat combo. Frankly, I can't wait to find out.

I don't care who it is as long as it isn't Jasper Carrot, whose free 20 minute slot I didn't find even slightly funny the other year.
I love the old Digance Saturday morning performance as far as I am concerned it has become a Cropredy institution and would be like not having Leon's , 6X or the Goan fish curry stall .

Bridg, why are you always so aggressive if somebody disagrees with your opinion? We can have different views, this after all is the idea of Talkawhile is it not?
She's not "always so agressive" She was echoing your caps. 'She', as you so politely put it, can speak for herself and doesn't need your interjection. Hello Again folks, can we keep it civil, and on topic please?  |

What will happen now, after a bit of eye scratching, hair-pulling and handbags at dawn here, the old f***** will decide he's playing after all.

What pray tell, has Jeremy Corbyn's views got to do with all this? Gawd help us.
I've already explained this, Pete. Digance is no lefty, and neither, it would seem, is Mr Blagden. Some of Digance's detractors clearly are, and it is after all his political leanings that seem to disturb most of the feathers that he ruffles. Jules It's not his political leanings that bother me, it's just the 'miserable old git' stage personality I dislike. I used to be a real fan, back in the 70s/80s when he was playing the folk clubs, until I met and spoke to him after one gig when he was really rude and offensive to me. I think he's a clever, witty man, but appears to be an egotistical a**e. That's why I dislike him.....I like some of the songs, and he can be funny, but I'm not a fan. I don't get cross with people who like him. Everyone has their opinion, and it's right for them. No need to be rude |
