To me, Dan's the man! He's playing at Llantrisant Folk Club at the Windsor Hotel, Pontyclun on Wednesday, January 22 (8.30pm, very near Pontyclun station bridge.) Admission £8, £5 for members.

Dan's a brilliant songwriter, a wonderful guitarist, a hypnotic storyteller and a stunning dark-brown voice; I'm in charge of the Club, as Pat and Ned are on tour in New Zealand, and I'm really looking farward to introducing him.
