Tried to add this as a topic earlier, so apologies if it ends up appearing twice (it's my first time!).

Anyway, I thought a few folk on here might like to hear about this:

As someone who wasn't even born when he had to give up performing, I really can't wait to attend this show!


Info:

28/05/2011 Queen Elizabeth Hall, London

The current English folk revival owes a lot to Nic Jones. Despite a career-ending car accident nearly 30 years ago, his early recordings have inspired and influenced countless current stars of the folk scene. In this very special concert, produced in association with Sidmouth FolkWeek, some of his biggest fans pay tribute to Nic by sharing their favourites from his repertoire. The highlight of the concert is Nic himself returning to the stage for a reunion of one of his old bands, The Bandoggs.
