That's great news ;D, and no doubt there'll be a slot already reserved at Cropredy for Lazarus.  ;)

Now where are Lazarus playing in the Manchester area, Maart?

Cheers

Hi Dunc

Early days yet, but it looks like Speaking Volumes agency will be handling gigs for Lazarus. I would hope that there would be lots of interest in booking the trio, and as soon as I have any news it will be made known...

Great news for music fans.

swarb has obvioulsy made greart strides in recentmonths if he feels that he is up to gigging again, it won't be the playing that would cause problems but the travelling.

Also if he's looking for new stuff does it mean that swarb has been writing again?

Good luck all concerned, the English Fiddler will be taking a spin on the old CD tonight.
