Those who bought Guide Cats For the Blind Volume 2, The Missing Persians File, will already know how approachable Tom is.

When we asked him to take part, we received, within three weeks, the recording of Les Barker's parody "Will the Turtle Be Unbroken" by Tom Paxton and the Smokey Mountain Girls.

It's not likely to be difficult to book him, if he's within reaching distance at the right time for the festival.
