Hello folkies, friends, musical adventurers, and people that want to give me a gig!
Right. I’m here. What’s going on? Is it nice? Can I eat it, snog it, or dance on or about its grave?

Let my first post be the full version of my profile banner photo. It’s not actually my photo, but I’m on it, and it’s a fun memory from a lovely, sunny day spent dancing with #LetchworthMorris at #Cromer.
