Subject: Bluegrass & Old-time Music - SE England

Updated listings below - lots of new events.

Thanks to all of you who came along to the rather wet Kentucky to Kent UK on Monday and helped to generate the terrific atmosphere indoors.  we had a terrific evening concert, with wonderful sets by the Allen Family, Native Grass, Jane Richards (+ me), the So Last Century Stringband (whom I saw for the first time in their great new four-piece line-up), and hosted by our resident Kent Carters.  Look forward to seeing you next time - hopefully more sunny!!

If you are a member of BBMA or FOAOTMAD, please do think of writing a piece about your band, or session, or any event you've been to - they love to get material for their magazines.

It has been really sad to hear of Phill Morley's death:  if you didn't know him, Phill was a cornerstone of the British bluegrass and old-time music scene, having set up the first magazine (which turned later into British Bluegrass News) a long time ago. He was also involved with Jan Jerrold in setting up the British Bluegrass Music Association, for which he was the East Anglia area rep for many years, and he helped to organise the Steeple Morden festival, as well as local sessions.  Phill played banjo and guitar, and also called for barn-dances.  He also taught, and set many players off on their start into the world of sessions, festivals and working in bands.  His many friends and acquaintances remember him as a generous and thoughtful person, with a lovely smile and a soft, kindly sense of humour.... He will be missed! 

Very best

Rick
