And today I am on the second of four stages from Norwich to Taunton, Devon to sing for the folks at the Fivehead Folk Nights. Although with the rail works going on my first leg of travel, my first, first class seat was, shall we say, a little less than desirable.

Hello Folks! A quick thank you to those of you who have signed up to follow me. I'm still trying to learn the basic 'ins and outs' here but I'm hoping things will fall into place very soon. I shall return in a few days and will hopefully have a better 'handle' on things. Safely as you go! ~ Dan
