Whilst looking online at some articles about 'wyrd folk' – which I love – I came across of review of 'The Julius Work Calendar' by Rhubarb, aka Richard Haswell. It sounded intriguing, but before I shell our hard-earned (honestly!) cash on the CD, I wondered if anyone had come across this and could let me know what they think.

Ta (in a strange sort of way).

Rhubarb is the most respected word in Theatre - all the crowd extras mumble it.

I hopw that helps, but somehow I doubt it...

You may want to pose that question on the Harvest-Home.org forum, too - someone there might know.

Never 'eard of them meself.

Wyrdly, I live in the 'Rhubard Triangle' - the area where most of the UK's rhubarb is grown in strange, candle-lit buildings, tended by a shadowy priesthood who practice arcane rituals.

Strange things happen here - often involving crumble and custard.

Well the diddly dum was meant to be the Rhubarb and Custard tune (UK childrens TV from the 80s). The only thing I can get out of yours, Charlotte, is 'Over the hills and far away'. ?????
