First of all apologies for anyone trying to communicate via the wonders of the web/email with myself or Julie recently - we have had a series of computer failures which have made life difficult. We have certainly lost a handful of emails and some demos promised to promoters have been delayed. If you think we have forgotten you please get in touch.

Our mechanical/electronic chaos even went as far as the hoover breaking down while we were cleaning the inside of one old PC to use as an extra backup !!

First off, some more bad news, due to external "stuff" beyond our control the following two gigs are cancelled:

Sun 19 Sep
The Sun Inn
Beverley

Fri 24 Sep
The Eight Bells Hotel
Hawkhurst


But ... now the good news:

Local radio and press have been very helpful recently. For example Julie got a fantastic review of the Arundel Festival gig which we've been told appeared in the Chichester Observer and West Sussex County Times... Getting hold of copies of such press articles, which are usually gig reviews or previews, can be tricky for us (not living locally to most of them), so if you see anything about Julie in your local papers we'd be really grateful if you could either let
us know or send us a copy.

We're also seeking help from anyone who might be able to display tour posters at work, school, local libraries etc or maybe distribute some fliers in your local folk clubs. We have some new tour poster designs so we'd like as many people to see them as possible. Just let us know how many copies you need and an address for us to
post them to.
