Though those dates seem a bit far off, it's not too soon for people in the UK to start making plans. If you've already got plans, change them. If the CCD are new to you, then go to youtube and be prepared to get excited about their music. They are extremely worthy of the hype that has followed them from the beginning. |

Having read some of the threads about what is or is not "folk" I was a teensy bit apprehensive.....!! But I am quite sure that all those who don't mind a bit of American flavour would LOVE the Drops. I also find them much much better live than on their recordings. You won't be disappointed!! |
