John
Jones and The Reluctant Ramblers will take to the ancient pathways of England
for a short 3-day walking / gigging tour of The Ridgeway, starting at the
iconic stone circle at Avebury and walking east to the Thames Valley with
gigs at Marlborough and the Nettlebed Folk Club. JJ
says "This is one of my favourite paths in England and we retrace the steps
of our White Horses Walk in 2012, passing the Uffington White Horse. There
was a time when I thought this might not happen this year so it will feel
very special." Gigs:
Sat
6th June:?Marlborough Folk Roots - see Sun
7th June:?a session in a small pub in Wantage - this has space for only
a very limited number of people, and is now full. Mon
8th June:?Nettlebed Folk Club -- see http://www.nettlebedfolkclub.co.uk/whats_on.html Further
details will appear on John's website soon after Easter - www.jj-rr.org

Our
apologies for some parts of the Oysterband website being off-air for a few
days last week - our web hosting company undertook a major update of its
technology, and that made it necessary for us to do some updating too. Normal
service has been resumed, more secure than ever we're pleased to say. |

The
Big Session moves to the handsome spa town of Buxton in the heart of the Peak
District to celebrate May weekend. Saturday night's big concert has 3 sets from
Blair Dunlop, Oysterband, and then Oysterband and June Tabor for their only gig
together this year.
If
you want a breath of fresh air, bring your walking boots and meet JJ at the
Opera House forecourt just before 11am for a walk around the town and up to the
vantage point of "Solomon's Temple" to view Buxton and the surrounding hills.
Back by 1pm for the session (see below).
"?to
welcome in the May-o, For summer is i-cumen in and winter's gone away"
?let Hal-an-Tow shake the chandeliers!
