Hello
Lovelies
Forget the politics - here's some ticket news!
Only
20 tickets left for the Aggies - so gerramoveon if you want a most sparkly and
cockle warming start to (that thing beginning with Chr that I don't want to
think about yet)
Likewise, only a couple left for the Albies too so you know what to do!
St

Next
Wonderful Mr Jim Causley is coming next (13th November) and his concert is sold
out, but I'm sure there'll be returns before the night if you'd like to go on
the waiting list.
Mr
Martyn Joseph will be here soon too - 20th Nov and tickets are selling well but
still good availability at the moment. Do come if you haven't seen him
before - an exceptional live performer, who knows what's what!
Still
some good seats left for the breathtaking Cara Dillon too. All gig
details are on the website as usual. www.folkinthebarn.co.uk
Our pal Mick O'Rourke has a spare ticket for Billy Bragg & Joe Henry at the
Marlowe. They will be performing their new album of songs about the North
American railway history on Wednesday 9th November. The ticket is in the
stalls Q26 and cost ?23 but he would accept any reasonable offer. Mick was
looking forward to coming but an important appointment means he can no longer
go. Please let me know if you'd like it and I'll pass you on to Mick.

at the Gulbenkian next February. You can read more and BOOK HERE
I've
just got back from an amazing three weeks on tour in Holland, Belgium and
Germany with Fairport Convention. It was a great adventure and we got to meet
some lovely people and see some amazing places. The theatres and facilities
are exceptional, no expense spared and not a scuff or bit of litter in sight.
On the last day we visited Poelcapelle Cemetery and sought out the grave
of young John Condon, the youngest soldier to die in the trenches of the first
world war. And all around the Harp and Crown of his regiment, carved on
his headstone, there were little remembrance crosses in the ground, exactly as
the song depicts. It was very moving and Simon's rendition of the song in
the concert that night was something else. Fairport are now in the studio
recording their next album as well as celebrating Peggy's 69th birthday.
I've attached annA rydeR's present to Peggy below.
Love
and peace
