I am familiar with the Whiskey Priests, Conrad, although I am yet to see them perform. I will be 'home' next summer and I'm looking forward to getting to some folk clubs in the NE. I hear the Davy Lamp in Washington is pretty good -- you been there, Jude? Conversely, Jez Lowe is coming over here (Vancouver, BC) next April and will be playing a gig with local folkie Tim Readman. You can get a taste of Tim, the Northumbrian exile, here: http://www.timreadman.com/index_music.html
