Hi Karen,

Yes, this is the third annual event.

Originally, the Salford Working Men's Library invited Kirsty MacColl to unveil a plaque to the memory of Ewan's work. Tragically, she was killed in a boating accident before this could be fulfilled.

The event was postponed, and later Peggy Seeger agreed to perform the unveiling.

The workshops explore the singers techniques to improve their performance and explore how the traditional material influenced Ewan's, and others' work in the 'Critics Group'.

I will leave to others to relate their impressions and experiences ...
