Just back from a brilliant National Folk Festival – wonderful program and thanks to all organisers and volunteers. But for a bit of a folky gripe about the security and the nanny state have a read/listen to the Burlap Wall.  I am aware the organisers are going to chat to the security, but the fences and bag checks and obnoxiousness from some of the security staff were a little underwhelming.  Just took the gloss off what was otherwise fantastic.

Just added –  check out our response to George Pell’s descriptions of gays and lesbians as “flaws in god’s carpet”

Just added – a new page to lodge some live performances for your listening pleasure.
