CBS are all that good and more! They are about the best a capella group I've ever heard, and I could listen to Jim Boyes sing all day and all night.

Do they ever get to the states? I have heard a few of their songs, and like what I have heard a Lot. I'd figure out a way to get to a New England/Montreal performance, or to get them here in VT if they were in the areaa. Then again YIPEE!! Just looked at the web site, and they will be performing in my home town on Nov. 3. I'll be there!!

I am insanely jealous of all you Vermonters. Actually, maybe I can make a pilgrimage the weekend of Nov. 3rd.... Does anybody know anything about the musicians they're sharing the bill with? C-B-S are extraordinary singers, worth hearing if you possibly can. I have all their CDs (available from Camsco, where I bought them), and there's not a bad one in the lot -- though my personal favorite is "Funny Old World." If you don't know of this group, you're in for a treat when you hear them!

Hi Charlie, that's great, we're going to be in Washington that week and would really like to see them - should we arrange reservations/tickets (for 2) through you? Perhaps you could PM me about it.

I actually saw the listing on the FSGW web site last week and tried calling you - just to let you know, your web site does it's job!

CBS ALBUM - BLUE MURDER

The CD of Blue Murder (CBS & Waterson:Carthy) released at Holmfirth Folk Festival is called 'No One Stands Alone' and is available from ADA Music: http://members.aol.com/adamailorder/ I think it's also available from Roots Music in Newcastle who have a CD stall at some of the major festivals.

I heard Taggart and Wright do Falling slowly at Cleckheaton Folk Fest. Considering they are only two voices they do a damn good job of it just as good as CBS.

Check those dates, Susan. I jst went to the website, and it says they are in Devon, England on Nov 3. The VT date is in October I think.

Delphinium -- the Folklore Society doesn't do advance tickets or take reservations for its concerts, so you'll just need to get there about 30 minutes before the show to be sure of a seat. Doors for all FSGW events open about half an hour before the concert start time, and except in VERY rare instances when we sell advance tickets, it's general admission, first-come, first-served. If you haven't been to the Glen Echo Town Hall before, parking is very limited. If you don't get a spot in the very small lot, you need to park on one of the side streets nearby. Kathy

YES! October 5. The November date was actually in 2000, and I missed 'em. This time I won't though. It's been in my calendar for a couple of months.
