Thread Name: Old Songs Festival 2011, big surprises?
Subject: RE: Big surprises at Old Songs 2011?
Unscheduled would be the somewhat scared looking little woman who stood up at the songwriters' swap this morning and delivered a lovely piece about Mary (Jesus and Bob's mom) and a manger-mouse in a lovely, clear voice, a capella and beautifully on pitch. She should sing more.

I wasn't there, but from the description of the song I would guess that the woman was Heather Wood, sole surviving member of the Young Tradition and one of the stars of the 1960s British folk song revival. Someone please correct me if I am wrong.
