I'm happy with that! I'm not happy with that. (for reasons I'm not allowed to express on here) |

Really pleased with Joan being confirmed. Haven't seen her for years and I think she'll be great.

I'm happy with that! I'm not happy with that. (for reasons I'm not allowed to express on here) And which have nothing to do with Valerie Singleton? Presumably because she will feel quite comfortable in the company of Mr Digance? Having said all that, her Greatest Hits album is still rather splendid. It won't be the first time I have had to overlook an artist's worldview and just focus on their music. |

I've obviously missed something. What does that mean? |

I figured Pete leant the same way. Politically that is!  Jules |

Sorry, I'm confused. Are people saying that they are going to ignore 'her world-view' and focus on her music... because she is gay? A). Isn't that what we should always do? B). Is being gay really that unusual to force that comment? Surely there must have been other gay musicians at Cropredy in the past? |

I believe it is a political issue. |
