Greetings from New York City:

Here we go again!

Anne Price and I met yesterday to start planning our third Awesome English Adventure. If all goes well, it will take place in May 2012, possibly extending into early June. Our first Awesome English Adventure, as some Mudcatters might recall, was in October 2008. Our second was last month, May 2010.

We will of course contact the folks who recently hosted us in the London area and then some. On our next trip we and our respective spouses hope to make it to Cornwall and/or Devon. So if there are any folk club organizers or house concert sponsors out that way who would consider booking us, please get in touch with me via e-mail by clicking here.

Our repertoires are particularly strong in traditional and contemporary North American folk music, including old-time country, railroad and hobo songs, cotton mill and coal mine songs, union songs, prison and chain gang songs, cowboy songs, outlaw ballads, love songs, sea music, ragtime, and blues. In addition to our general performances, Anne and I also give concerts and workshops that feature the songs of Woody Guthrie. While Anne and I perform many of our songs together, we also perform many separately, so your club or concert series would in essence be booking two guest performers for the price of one.

Anne and I would be happy to send you a press kit containing a sample CD of our recent live performances. Meanwhile please feel free to visit our respective websites:

As I have said before, we still have our Oyster Cards, our UK mobile phones, and a small cache of Bank of England banknotes. There's not too much we can do with any of that stuff in the USA, so please help us out.

Thanks.
