So far we have made almost £400 that will go to the Radio Lincolnshire "Go For Gold" appeal, which this year is working in conjunction with "Wish Upon A Star" to send very ill children from Lincolnshire, to Lapland to see Father Christmas.

Each child will be accompanied by a carer and there will be trained medical staff on board.
The children that are unable to travel to Lapland, will go to a location, in Lincolnshire instead.

I am looking for Folk Clubs, to see how many CD's they can sell, and I will send them the quantity of Cd's required.

I would like to see us hit the £1000 mark. I am sure you mudcatters would like to help such a worthy cause.

Go to this link to see Dai Woosnam's review.

Anybody else that would like to review this CD, then feel free to do so.

Well done Les, it's all down to your hard work really. The rest of us are just trying to do our best to sell as many copies as possible.

Here's to that £1,000 - you'll get there!

The thousand pounds will be relatively easy but what about the £2000?
How many catters throughout the counry could just sell a couple???
Is there a link Les where snips of the C/D can be heard as per Stitherums link??
Best wishes. Mike.

Good idea Mike - I will look into that. £2000 the mind boggles.

Thanks for the nice comments Deirdre. In all honesty its a team effort. I might have had the idea, but the artists that donated and the people that have have moved Heaven and Earth to make this happen, are just as important. Keep it rolling along :-)

Are any of these in the US? Do you retail individual copies directly, perhaps through someone who can accept PayPal which those of us in the western reaches can use to send payment in sterling?

Hi Anglo.
I suggest you PM Villan and see what can be arranged. The C/D is for charity but is of great quality with some trad and some newish songs on. As you can see I have suggested that Villan puts some snippets of the songs on a link so that you can hear what they sound like before buying ...but even without, I would recommend it to any Folk music lovers.
Best wishes, Mike.

Got one hundred spanking new Yellowbellies CD's hot from the press tonight. So will be looking for folkies to buy them.

Anglo
It would be possible to send you a cd but not sure of the delivery costs anmd if any taxes have to be paid. I used to have paypal, but not sure anymore if I still am in operation. Will check for you. It may well be possible to find a mudcatter that attends MRFC or knows me who has Paypal. Thinking about it, my next door neighbour has paypal, so he might just do that for me. Whatch this space.

Is there any Mudcatter that could put snippets of each number on a website for me. Its charity so wopuld not like to pay for anybody's time.

Well Les, Mike and Sue obviously know how to put a musical link on as they have done so on the Stitherum thread. They will be at Gainsborough Folk Club on Friday night...refreshed after their holiday in the lake district.
Best wishes, Mike.

I picked up a copy at Gainsboro folk festival and it's full of quality. A great range of tunes and songs, and put together for a real good reason. A lovely snapshot of some of the best performers in Lincolnshire in the early 21st century! I think I'll bury a copy in the garden for future generations to enjoy!

We'll also push it at lincoln folk club on Monday.

Cheers

It's not often you can hear some of your favourite folk singers all on one CD. It's also good to hear our local singers on CD too! A real quality CD. which is giving some real help to poorly children.

WOW! What a great CD! I have just spent an hour listening to it, and another hour listening to it again with Vanessa, and I am ready for the third listen-through. The quality of recording and production is ACE. The quality of performances, well what can I say other than I'd travel to listen to any and all of the performers on it. Sure, John Conolly, Colin & Karen Thompson, Whaley & Fletcher, Winter/Wilson I already knew and they need no praise from me. Neither does Miranda Sykes, whom I'd like to call a mate now that we've collaborated, and whose talent is limitless (the bitch - and her only 26 years old!).

But I had not heard Cara before; or Simon Johnson (bastard! lovely song and wonderful voice). Or Kate Abbott....And Liam Robinson's track is such a fitting "closer"!

And then, what a glorious collection of songs! This CD should be a must for anyone wanting a good cross-style sampler of English folk music - never mind Lincolnshire.

Les, I bow to your achievement.

Everyone else: Contact Villan and get a copy NOW!
I was wrong in my opening sentence: This is a f***ing GREAT album!

Yes, it was me - I'd inadvertedly lost my biscuit ("cookie" is so US-oriented, isn't it?)

I think the artists did it George - I was only the instrument to make it work.

What it does show, is the quality of artists in Lincolnshire.

As I said before, many thanks for such a lovely review and so glad you have enjoyed it.

Just think George, your £10 has gone to a lovely cause, and you will be able to eat your christmas pud with pride.

Thank you so much for such smashing comments Guy.

The talent in Lincolnshire is just amazing, and the way that this project has been taken on by everybody is just mind blowing.

I listened to Radio Lincolnshire on friday giving commentary on the visit to Lapland for these children and it just brought tears to your eyes, and to be a part of it is such a proud moment.

Being a 'yellow belly' that now lives miles away and has just found this forum, cum chat room cum brilliant site, how do I get a copy of this CD. I also run a very small music business in Leamington Spa, maybe I could sell a few as an agent or whatever. Call me on [e-mail]
