28 Apr 10 - 02:21 AM (#2895713) Subject: Joan Mills, folk singer with Mike Raven From: GUEST Folk singer from UK by the name of Joan Mills recorded albums with singer, Mike Raven. I was wondering if anyone knows how many albums she recorded with Mike Raven and if she had any of her own recordings? I just have one album they recorded together in the 1970's. I have not heard anything about her for many years and just would like to know if anyone has information about her. Is she still singing? With Mike or someone else? Is she singing at any folk clubs? Joan's voice is lovely! |

He lived in Market Drayton Shropshire. I have not heard from Joan for quite a long time, she used to be a regular at The Falcon Folk Club in Stafford in the 70's. I have only the one LP, 'Death and the Lady, but they certainly recorded more. |

She and mike were often at Bromyard Festival, Mike myself and a few others would get pretty wasted together on the Sunday afternoon - happy days. |

29 Apr 10 - 02:08 AM (#2896444) Subject: RE: Joan Mills, folk singer with Mike Raven From: GUEST,Guest - Lin Thanks for all who have posted info about Joan Mills. I was sorry to hear about Mike. As I live in Califoria, I don't really hear much news about British folk artists unless they are very well known around the world. The only LP I have of Joan & Mike is the one called, "Death and the Lady" which I bought many years ago on a visit to UK. Is there any way to find the two CDs that rich joy posted information about Joan singing on? (Frankie Armstrong's CD, "Ways of Spring" and "The Fair Moon Rejoices)? I doubt I will be able to find them in California unless there was distribution of these CD's in U.S.A. |

Joan Mills also sings a lovely version of The May Morning Dew on Frankie's CD, The Garden Of Love. Which I rather like. It's on Fellside, and you might be able to get it in the States through Elderly Instruments or Camsco. Don't know about the others. |

( http://www.camscomusic.com/ ) Good Luck, Lin! Cheers, R-J |
