I'm sure Nigel that you could get them to come to Manchester, they have passports. They will be in Canada in August for both Millrace and Goderich Folk Festivals, plus a day of dance and song with Orange Peel Morris and anything else they can fit in, Yahhhhh!
(I was going to add that Helena plays in the group Jabadaw, who are based in Manchester, though when you go to their website it announces their last concert as June 30th 2007, so I won't).

So you guys had better have the new CD completed by then.
