PS maybe you'd like to check out The h2g2 Musician's Guild U150368

Good Afternoon Ace

Sorry I have not replied sooner. The HooToo Musicians guild site is under refurbishment at the moment but I will keep it in mind, many thanks.

My main musical interests are traditional folk, and being an old fogie these days I have a strong nostalgic hunger for the sixties.

I do not know if being 57 entitles me to being called a silver surfer but I'm not bothered.

Hello, I've just replied to the other thread.
I didn't know about the Musician's Guild being refurbished, are there any conversations going on at the moment?

If you like traditional folk, I think there are a few local BBC radio stations which play it regularly. You can listen to them on the internet. But you probably know that much better than I do.

Morning

I have now joined the musicians guild but am wondering how to read any correspondence that has come to me. I see on the opening screen that people have reacted to my entry but I can see no way to see these reactions in order to respond. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, many thanks.

Afternoon.

Here's the reply you got on the Musician's Guild thread:

You must have unsubscribed from it, which is why you can't see it in your conversation list. You can easily resubscribe by either replying to it, or clicking the 'subscribe to this conversation' link at the bottom of the thread.

Thanks for that

I have now replied to the link. I am off on holiday to Krakow for 7 nights from Saturday so will not have much contact for next week.

Well, the site will still be here when you're back, so don't worry.

A friend once sent me songs of Fairport Convention, I found them quite melancholic. Didn't realise they used the dulcimer, must pay attention next time I listen to them.
