 "Cheap Day Return"
 
 The new Sally
        Ironmonger CD "Cheap Day Return" will be available this
        month.  Recording (at Ranscombe Studio, Rochester) is now
        completed and the final product is being packaged.  Eleven of the
        thirteen tracks were written by Sally Ironmonger and Brian Carter, with
        much appreciated input from Shaun Murray (guitar, mandolin, backing
        vocals), Brian Rodgers (guitar), Marion Rodgers (percussion), Ian
        Cutler (fiddle), and Jim Riley (percussion, backing vocals, harmonica,
        and much more).  We'll let you know when it is finally
        available.
