[Meet on the ledge]

Cropredy hasn't yet been cancelled, but even if it goes ahead, with the mortality rate for male over 60's being what it is, I'm not sure how many will want to risk going.

This is pure class. If you want a bit of inspiration, the Nic Jones story is available on YouTube.

Just read a blog of a man on how he went through his Covid-19 journey. His PS
PS My daughter Louisa recorded this for me when I was taken into hospital. Not quite sure how she managed to do it when she must have been frightened out of her wits. It?s one of our favourites, Nanci Griffith?s Trouble in the Fields. I played it a lot in these difficult days; as much as it tore out my heart, it was also a balm for the heart. If this rain can fall, these wounds can heal.

Also have a listen to his brilliant versions of "Annan Water" and "Annachie Gordon" if you liked that, and definitely watch the BBC documentary about what happened to him and how he came back.

Before he went solo Nic Jones appeared as a member of Halliard and I was there when they appeared at Matlock Folk Club. Nic Jones and a parody of The Green, Green Grass of Home "here comes Mary ------ and lips all hairy --- she's the pride of the local dairy -- devouring of the green, green grass of home." Sorry, I cannot remember more. A lot of people are still singing Nic Jones songs, arranged or even written by him but now thought to be traditional. I once sat in with a band many, many years ago in which Nic Jones was playing fiddle. A career cut short and one has to wonder had he not had that accident where Nic Jones would be now.
