Such good questions! I am hoping someone can answer them!

I found out about the concert on Martin Simpson's website, and then Tracey Dragonsfield found this for me on the BBC Radio 2 site:

As regards the benefit gig, the "BBC - Radio 2 - Folk and Acoustic" website(http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/r2music/folk/tour_dates/index.shtml ) has a listing for Martin Simpson that says : "July 11, SHEFFIELD - Benefit Gig for 5 Weirs Walk - 0114 2509124".

If someone could phone for free information, from England, rather than me making an expensive call from Canada, it would very much appreciated. My web searches are showing very little results. Thank you so much!
