Subject: RE: Mudcat 2003 Alternative British Folk Awards From: treewind Date: 11 Mar 03 - 04:38 PM Never heard of us in the North? Mary used to live in the Ryburn Valley in West Yorkshire, where the Ryburn Three Step people hang out (Pete Coe, Johnny Adams, Chris Coe etc. etc.) and I've lived there for a while too - I was even in a band with a bunch of them, and we've done gigs in Yorkshire and Manchester... Song Links - March 30 - details HERE - thanks for mentioning it. By the way, what's a CD lunch? Anahata |
