I might as well make use of this thread to announce that we now have a song book for sale.

Lyrics and tunes for 21 of Mary's songs as recorded on "Through The Groves" and "Sharp Practice", in an easy-to-use comb bound A4 book (guaranteed to open flat on a music stand) with laminated totally beer-proof and coffee-proof outer covers. There's lots of pretty colour illustrations too, some of which are Mary's own hand drawn or painted artwork.

More on the Web site, of course. If you get there before I do to change it, the price is £8, not £10 as it currently says.

These are traditional English songs but many are not available in this form from other books as they have mostly been pieced together from words and music from different collected versions.

Catch us at Whitby and buy a copy!
