Thanks John,

Just listening to "Over Africa". A deservedly popular song!

Can you get tickets on the door at The Bull?

Best wishes,

I reckon everyone should take advantage of a chance to hear and see this lady while she's visiting the U.K.    Anybody who remembers her from years ago will find the voice and the personality exactly the same - a great treat for any audience: beautiful singing, great musical memories, lots of smiles both ways and one of the most genuinely likeable people you'll ever meet in your life.
Please check with local organisers for times or any schedule changes since I've received the tour list. Then enjoy.
I've missed you Mim. Welcome back.

Enthusiastically seconded Rumanci!

Just two alterations to the list you posted, if I may.

The 7th October is The Bull, Woolpit (see JohnH's post at the top of the thread...

...and... Wayland Radio is off air at the moment so that broadcast won't be happening.

Best wishes,

Peter

Shame that Miriam doesn't appear to be playing any Scottish gigs.

I saw her perform at the Triangle Folk Club in Edinburgh in the seventies, and was totally smitten.

Well, lads, you'll have to do something to remedy the lack of Scottish gigs! I heartily echo Rumanci's sentiments, and have very fond memories of Mim from the old days. I first saw her at The Rising Sun in Catford, and she did the best, raciest version of Basket of Eggs I've ever seen.

Come back often, Mim -

Hello everyone. I want to say a huge thank you to all the people and clubs I have been to so far for making me feel that I 'belong' here. British folk music is in my blood, and I always enjoy my annual 'folk fix'. Can't wait to be a part of all the other evenings we have planned together. Mim XX

I'm realy looking forward to MCing for Miriam at the Cleckheaton concert (which looks great), and also at Bedworth.
One thing I don't understand though - why has Miriam only got a My Space page, and not her own website? I really wanted to find out more, but couldn't? Is there one, and it's just me being slow - as usual?!

Mim has changed her list and it seems that she will not be at Tenterden so her next ones are Radio West Suffolk on 103.3fm and on the net on 6th and then The Bull in Woolpit IP30 9SA on Friday 7th.

If you want to hear Miriam and you can't get to one of her gigs then point your browser to www.rwsfm.co.uk at 11 a.m. London time on Thursday 6th October. She is a guest on their excellent folk programme.

The radio broadcast was very good. RWSfm did Miriam proud.

Now, tonight's the night if you are within hitting distance of Woolpit, Bury St. Edmunds, Suffolk.

It's shaping up to be a memorable night! Thanks JohnH!

I agree Hazel - lovely to see you all again - even though Alan wasn't at all well behaved!!
It was a real privilege to have the opportunity to MC for Miriam - a lovely, interesting lady, with a superb voice. I had a real shiver down my back in some of them, especially The Shearin's Not For You.
