Hello again!

Hello folkies.  It's been a while.  Sorry, I've been very busy elsewhere and haven't had a chance to keep this up to date.  This makes me sad :( Again, I'm not on the show tomorrow, for exciting reasons I will reveal later.  But I'm giving Chris some tracks to play on my behalf, so there's no avoiding the folk this week!  Also, thought I'd put the few days' listings up to the end of this month.  Need to get hold of the next quarter's copy, hopefully before I'm next on the show.  Anyway, here's from today up til the 30th.  Hope you get to enjoy some of the incredible music going on!

Tues 27: St Neots- Round the Room
Wed 28: Baldock and Letchworth - Richard Digance (Go and see him!  He's hilarious!) (http://www.richarddigance.com/)
Thurs 29: Bishop's Stortford - Mike Deavin (http://www.myspace.com/mikedeavin)
               Redbourn - Open Stage
               Bedford - Singers' Night
Fri 30: Watford - Sing around
            Cambridge - Showcase (see www.cambridgefolkclub.org to see who's playing)
            Stony Stratford - Skallarigg

That's your lot this week.  Will get hold of some up to date listings when I get the chance and keep you informed.  Until then, enjoy the beautiful weather!  This is perfect folk music and a pint weather!  Make the most of it,

Jess :)
