....and Wendy will be doing a completely different set of almost exclusively Trad English & Scottish songs next weekend ( inc. Bonnie Light Horseman, The Shearing, Whitby Lad etc) at The Kirkby Fleetham Folk Club Winter Warmer Weekend with stunning guitarist and singer Ian McKone and a similar mix to above with me for her other set.
