Just discovered this thread after a friend passed it on. Kind of reminds me of the encounter I had at Sidmouth Festival a few years back when someone came up and said "didn't you used to be Chris Foster?"

Well folks I still am me and just to bring people up to date. I do now live in Iceland as of 2 years ago. I am still performing as much as possible, but as one promoter recently commented when declining my offer to come and play "times and tastes have changed". I am doing solo gigs and more often playing as one half of the duo FUNI with my partner, the great Icelandic traditional singer Bára Grímsdóttir. You can read more about us at:

I also have my own page at:

myspace.com/chrisfosterfolk

I am currently trying (with some difficulty) to put together a tour in England for next June, offering the option of either booking FUNI or me solo. All and any contacts, offers etc. will be very greatfully received. A measure of the difficulty of getting a tour together is the fact that the gig at The Tiger last September (along with doing the Wadebridge Festival) was the only one I managed to do. The other 2 I got had to be cancelled because they were too far apart and simply weren't enough to make the tour I was trying to organise for Bára and I viable.

For those of you who can't contact me through myspace you can go to my old website at www.folkmusic.net/chrisfoster for an email address.

It's gratifying to find that I haven't been totally forgotten.

Hoping to see people around in the coming months and years....

Chris Foster
