Thread Name: Welsh harp concert in Kansas City Apr 25
Subject: RE: Welsh harp concert in Kansas City Apr 25
I can confirm that another two catters are Friends Of Robin - that is myself and Dame Spoons. Sadly, we don't work together any more, but we sang and played at the UK-AZ Festival in Phoenix, Arizona, where among the high spots was a concert with Robin playing the triple harp. Robin drove us to Tucson another night to another warm and friendly gig (hello, Desert Dancer!) and we spent the night driving home to Phoenix again with Robin regaling us with problems and nightmares that you only get if you're a triple-harper flying US airlines.

This man is a marvellous, BAFTA award-winning musician. He plays with Crasdant, who are all pretty stunning and who regularly play America. But across Offa's Dyke, interest in Welsh music just dissipates - a crying shame, but I've grown tired and just a little despondent of singing the obvious praises of tunes and artists from our land now.
