Johnny Collins RIP

I just had a call from my friend Sarah. News has come via Bob

Johnny Collins has died whilst in (I think) Poland on a singing trip.
Apparently he felt unwell and died of heart failure. Joyce has family
and friends with her and says at least he died doing what he loved.
Another good man gone.

Twitter for session listings
Sun, 05 Jul 2009 13:39:59 +0100
I've started using Twitter for local session announcements:
http://www.twitter.com/JackCampin
The idea is that listings are more likely to be accurate and
up-to-date that way, and maybe some sort of community will
emerge that does this in a more decentralized way than those
massive folk-map sites. I'm only g ...

Licensing - Busking
Fri, 3 Jul 2009 15:47:02 +0100
The following from Hamish Birchall.
