Folk music

My musical discovery this weekend was the wonderful Danny George Wilson, a singer-songwriter in the folk/country tradition with subtle lyrics and great guitar technique. He was supporting The Epstein at the Holywell Music Room and much as I like them, I think he outclassed them. He has an album available on Amazon and I'm about to buy it (he sold all the copies he had with him on Saturday).

I have just arranged to be a steward at the Oxford Folk Festival at the end of March (a few hours work in exchange for a free pass for the weekend). Tickets aren't cheap and being a steward has been great fun when I've done it before at Sidmouth and Towersey. Thought I'd mention it in case any of you felt like doing the same and wanted to try and share shifts with me.

Danny George Wilson is playing at the Jericho Tavern on 8th March, I hear (but have not had a chance to confirm).

Thanks for letting me know. I'm probably up for that.

I guess you don't want to go on some silly excursion to London in search of Mr Solo then...

We've got the first Grand Drive album on CD if you want to borrow it.

Many thanks. I'd love to borrow it!

I'll try to remember it next time we're likely to see you!
