Mudcat veteran Bo (Bo Foaks) is currently rather unwell, and confined to Liskeard Community Hospital, Cornwall to face a gruelling course of treatment.

He has been a stalwart of the Cornish folk scene for many years, and before that in Kent, after making a very welcome switch from drums to guitar and mandolin. Many 'catters will also have encountered him at his annual workshops and sessions at the Tenterden Folk Festival.

He has not been well enough to contact his many friends in the world of music, but would welcome visitors (check with Oak Ward first), and of course your best wishes and prayers.
