I think that if it wasn't for the first day problems NFFF would be the best around. Sadly for the first time for ages we haven't taken up the early bird offer . Sitting in a hot field for three hours after a five hour drive is no longer an option. I really hope they can sort it.

TAW has been up and down for days now and I haven't been able to get Colin's attention, so I would suggest that if you want to stay in contact with other TalkAWhile folk you take a look for them on Facebook and, if not already"Friends" with them, send friend requests. This nay sound extreme but really I think the end may well be nigh. Thanks Andy, that will be a sad day. Haven’t had any issues this end but it’s been inevitable for a while! |

If anybody wants me, I'm on FB or Bluesky (David Johnston-Smith) and my email is davidmjs at gmail dot com
I obviously hope this isn't the end, but it does feel rather like it doesn't it. Let's hope not, but it's been a gas...  |

Attended a concert about the 1826 Lancashire Loom Breakers riots when workers turned against the increasing mechanisation of their jobs and rampaged around East Lancashire for a week destroying the new fangled looms. A mix of narration, song and dance, that was a wonderful afternoon. Of course it all failed. The mill owners hijacked the money coming in to look after the poor to rebuild their mills with even better equipment, but at least the workers tried. Sadly some died, but many who were sentenced to death had their sentences commuted and were imprisoned for a maximum of 18 months. See more here : https://digspag.org.uk/riot-the-story-of-the-east-lancashire-loom-breakers-in-1826/?fbclid=IwY2xjawTLWUxleHRuA2FlbQIxMABzcnRjBmFwcF9pZBAyMjIwMzkxNzg4MjAwODkyAAEejaWW-p7OqJGRseK2OQNWMFwNBPrX6lSpdYJ7KN2XTrlLPxtTqI5FuTRdq98_aem_Eq6oa1TO3T8ZvjFIcyEOCw Sounds grand. Who were the musicians involved?

Better late than never, I guess. I picked up a copy of Stornoway's album Bonxie in a charity shop the other day, and ... wow! I know that a few people here (davidmjs, I'm looking at you) have promoted them over the years, but I just never looked into them. Excellent |
