Yes Mick you're proved right. I greatly regret that the festival this year will have to be cancelled. There are too many variables to be sure of it happening amid concern that social distancing controls would be difficult to manage.

Will have to get my arse round soon. You start to realize what you have when it's all taken away from you.

You're right Steve, as I said previously I have attended everyone of the NESGF since they started,and a better weekend you could not experience, It doesn't matter how well you can or can't play, just be there. All being well I will be there at the next one. Donny

We still hope to have some Sunday lunchtime sessions when it's possible - a handful of people should not be so difficult to manage safely in the big room.
