Right record putting time!

I understand that Sean Cannon is on at the Picturedrome on Friday, Iam not sure but I think tickets are £7.50 pp (check this out)St Pats night

Colcannon are a superb Australian band who toured last year, one of their musicians will be touring with Eric Bogle again this year, i believe


Projected is a recording session of Yorkshire Traditional song for The Yorkshire Garland db an initiative brought about by a small lottery grant (fuller information later) awarded to Steve Gardham, Mike Parsey and myself.

This to take place in The Old Bridge on Sat pm of the Festival between 1pm and 4pm ~ to date Frank Hinchliffe's son Roger and Gordon Hoyland (Sheffield) expected to be there and probably Ken Hinchliffe

An article to be put in the Holmfirth paper invites local Holmfirth trad singers to attend and maybe sing (free session for all interested parties)and also be recorded

The Friday night Folk Club is to be hosted by Barnsley Folk club regulars, such as dave Bottomley and John Platt and I hope to be there too (check out the H Fof F web site too)

I dont expect to be doing a solo spot except where I take my place as usual!!
