...has Facebook taken over?

Well to be honest I preferred the 'old' covfolk, miss that format very much- like missing an old friend. I know that several other folkies feel the same way and so have given up looking on here. Sorry Hannah just being honest with my opinion.It seems only a few of us have continued to contribute regularly here Pete. I nearly didn't respond because I feel there may not be much response for discussion - I hope this proves otherwise.

oh yes I remember when the light bulbs jokes began, I think it was several years before the original covfolk was alive and kickin'. Pam x
   

Having never known the "other" site I can't comment on it. This site is useful to find out in one place what is going on in Coventry.

Without it I would have not have found the Denbigh Arms Sly Old Dogs gig, or visited the Sty Folk Club.

What other sites do people use.

Do you mean the old emailing list, Pam? That was okay for a while, but for various reasons I had to change it. It was closing and only the people on the email list got it. This way everyone can have a read...

But, if you mean the old site with listings and biogs etc, I hope to bring it back maybe one day, but it takes a lot of maintenance and I'd struggle to keep up with it all! I hardly ever update my own website these days...

P.S - Like your joke Jonathan I think Dad remembers the time before the light bulb was invented, let alone the invention of the joke!
