Some of us Down under are heading for the UK in June! Mass exodus of Sydney folkies (about 35 of us!) for a month-long tour, travelling under the name "Solidarity Choir" and "Touchwood".

If it makes you Northern Hemisphere folks feel better, it's about 42 degrees celsius today, impossible to breathe, think, function. My car is like an oven - I could fry an egg on my dashboard.
