  I was indeed intrigued Howard, by the mix of 'pop' and 'over 19', as much as anything else.
  
  It is a good idea though, I get a little mixed up over the terminology, but this has more to do, perhaps, with the miracle formula so often employed by hit-makers.
  It is something of a pity that they are not involved with writing ballads or folksy songs. This could have added to the repertoire of the Cow Pats and their like.
  
  You never know, but there could soon be a string of hits emanating from Dover's answer to Tin Pan Alley, "Trash-Trug Road', or Folkestone Road as it is more usually known.
  Ignorance is bliss, bliss is happiness, I am happy...to draw your attention to the possible connectivity in the foregoing.

  Hi Tom. You can come and work on ballads and folk songs if you wish!!
  
  It's a writing group aimed at adults so there is no upper age at all. feel free to join us if you would like to.
  
  Contact me for further details on 0300 333 6022 or email me on matthew.sykes@kent.gov.uk
  
  By the way - I run the Songwriters Circle and organise it.

  Thank you very much for the very kind invitation to play at the Tuesday Market, but I'm sorry to say that we all have day jobs (as well as us all being songwriters) so it's not really possible for us to do gigs on a weekday in working hours.
  
  Sorry, but thanks again for the thought. We really do appreciate it.
