Tattie Bogle, you'll be more than welcome on the 5th! Numbers are very encouraging, and there seems to be a genuine appreciation of the very special (and different) talents of our three guests -- Sara has a deep connection to the great variety of US ballad versions, and a real knowledge of many of the most important traditional singers; Brian has immense musical taste and a deep background of textual study which informs the fine ballad versions that he presents; and Kevin has a finely-tuned ear for the most attractive texts from the tradition, which he then transforms into performances that are entirely his own. Any other 'Catters coming?
