As I posted elsewhere, I can heartily recommend the New Forest Folk Festival. I went for the first time this year, and it is definitely the closest in ‘vibe’ to Cropredy of the several different festivals I’ve attended over the years. 3000 capacity, lovely people, and the singalongs and workshops give it an excellent community feel. Great music too! That is a distinct possibility! |

I see the new Brandon Flowers album has David Rawlings on guitar, an interesting combination. I'm absolutely no fan of The Killers, but I'd be intrigued to hear that. |

So, to clarify, I've heard Vicki singing Sandy stuff before and thought it fine. This performance I thought was twee. Not sure if that can be classed as pejorative-it just wasn't complimentary (nor intended to be). Surely we're allowed to have different opinions... actually, what really surprised me is that I got away with saying I can't stand RT's voice  Views on his voice in general, aside (I like it, it is individual) I thought it sounded like RT had a cold this year, he sounded a bit poorly. |

Genuine question - do you find Sandy 'twee'? In truth I much prefer Ralph McTell’s delivery of ‘White Dress’. |

White Dress did sound a bit syrupy, I personally would have preferred a barnstorming John the Gun or something similar, but horses for courses and all that! Well, the original arrangement was always a bit syrupy....certainly not my favourite Sandy song. Fwiw, I think Vicki sings Sandy very well and I've really enjoyed her over the decades. I've only just listened to the performance now. It sounds like Vicki singing Sandy Denny to me... Twee sounds a bit pejorative to me. I've got a friend who insists on calling Vashti, Vashtwee and it drives me to distraction (despite being funny)! |

If the question was directed at me, absolutely not (apart from maybe one or two things in her very early repertoire). The adjective was directed at Vicki Clayton's performance of the song. David said syrupy -yes, that fits the bill for me
