Thread Name: Information about UK folk singer Chris Foster
Subject: Chris Foster Update
This is for all you kind souls who e-mailed me about Chris Foster. For those of you who don't know who he is, he was a folk singer who had two stellar LP's in the 1970's.

I learned that he has a new tape out, called "The Sting In The Tail." I wrote to order it and was surprised to get an e-mail from Chris himself. He told me:

1. His old stuff is deleted by Topic and he doesn't own the masters; 2. He doesn't know if he'd want to re-release them anyway even if he had a say; 3. He is working on a new Cd which includes some of the old traditional stuff off his old LP's.

Let me say that except for giving me pleasure for the past 20 years I have no connection with Chris Foster. I would not post the following, except for the fact that checking the folk newsgroups and from getting e-mail it is apparent he still has a lot of fans who don't know he still performs and has stuff out. So if you want to find out about his latest tape or just write to him to say hello snail:

Thanks to all of you who e-mailed me about Chris Foster when I did the posting about "Coast of Peru." I didn't realize so many of us knew about him. Maybe he can make a comeback?
