Nigel, you should have made the short leap across the Pennines to Skipton last night where they did a gig in a cattle market. I'm just in from seeing them at the Plough where I was genuinely stunned by the complexity, innate appropriateness and beauty of the arrangements behind Jim's glorious voice. I hadn't seen either the band or Mr C for several months . . . and how they have worked on their set. Their collective stage presentation has come on in leaps and bounds and the empathy between Alex Goldsmith's melodeon and Jamie Delarre's fiddle is just achingly glorious. Wood/Cutting-like though that's not in any way to suggest it's copyist.

Yes, promote a tour and publicise it well. You won't end up skint. (Or if you do, you won't care).
