GUEST,cookieless JR John Roberts and Tony Barrand (23) RE: John Roberts and Tony Barrand 22 Feb 05


Thank you for your concern and support. As postings above suggest,Tony and I are still working together when we can, though we can only play fully accessible venues at this point. (If feasible, we will bring a portable ramp with us to help get his scooter on the stage). As you may imagine, or may have seen, his legs don't work very well. His voice is still good as ever though, and we do hope that people don't think our active partnership in over.

We played the Philadelphia Folk Festival last summer, and did a full schedule of Nowell Sing We Clear concerts in December. Our last recording, done live, was released just over a year ago (info at goldenhindmusic.com).

Tony is still teaching (as a full professor) at Boston University. I am not involved in academics and have continued to play solo, or with other musicians (as Ye Mariners All for example, mentioned above), throughout the more than 35 years of our partnership. A solo appearance by me is IN NO WAY an indication that we are no longer performing together.

If you would like to book us, please contact our agent, Robyn Boyd of Wooden Ship Productions, robyn@woodenshipproductions.com. and I'm sure she'll be able to find a date that will suit.

John Roberts
