One for Mudcatters in Birmingham (Not Alabama missus, West Midlands UK). Please pass this info on to local folk clubs and anyone else who might be interested. Mudcatters involved in this project include Richard Bridge, who took care of all the legal details at no cost to BCAB, and Clive(Wild Rover)Lever and myself, A.K.A.

BCAB is an UK organisation of visually impaired people who use information and communications technology.

Who Is Les Barker? Excerpt From A Short Biography, From The Age Of Three Until Nearly Teatime.

Les Barker writes strange poems and comes from Manchester. He was an accountant before he became a professional idiot. He's written 68 books, which sell in large numbers at his gigs mainly because people don't quite believe what they've just heard. His poems have spawned a number of folk heroes: Jason and the Arguments, Cosmo the Fairly Accurate Knife Thrower, Captain Indecisive and Spot of the Antarctic, to name but two.
Les has several solo albums to his credit: 'Dogologues', An Infinite Number Of Occasional Tables', 'A Cardi And Bloke', 'Up The Creek Without A Poodle' and his new album, 'Arovertherapy.'   http://www.mrsackroyd.com/welcome.htm

The British Computer Association of the Blind wishes to thank all the artists and everybody involved for their total support of this project in their own time and at no cost.
