This month's issue of fRoots has an exclusive extract from my book identifying the man who wrote the first-ever version of Poor Ellen Smith and explaining how an NYC encounter with Laura Cantrell helped me do so. It's the December 2015 issue, which has Andy Irvine on the cover.

Murder Ballad Monday ran an interview with me about the book on November 9, and I'll be joining Fatea's Neil King for an hour-long Murder Ballads Special on Blues And Roots Radio this Saturday (Nov 14). You'll find more details about all the above, plus some links to the interviews and extracts themselves in the Stop Press box here.
