Can anyone give me more information about this concert? Where was it held? What did she sing? If anyone who was there could give some anecdotes, that would be great. TIA for help and advice on where to dig deeper, GwenZ |

She sang, briefly again, in the early 1990s and was interviewed in the Folk Britannia series... Derek |

He also remembers Ann Briggs singing at the National Folk Festival at Sutton Bonington (so do I, but I thought it was later than the early 90s). Kitty |

It was held in the Greenwich Borough Hall as part of a Greenwich festival. Artists were MacColl & Seeger, Martin Wyndham Read, Dave & Toni Arthur, and a Ukranian group. I MC'd and sang. Good value for £3.50. |

If I find the answer, I'll post it here. :) Thanks, everybody, for all the help. And burl-- that *is* great value for £3.50! |

He doesn't have any set list information for the gig, unfortunately. |
