I saw him once at the Combridge Folk Festival many years ago. He wasn't QUITE as open there as at the MUM concert, but not everyone was a fellow student of MMY's, so there was still a certain distance he maintained, I think. Of course, many people weren't TMers at the MUM concert, either, but I'm sure he felt more comfortable at both places than in a commercial hall with people hawking his recordings and T-shirts and so on.
