Blackbeard's Tea Party on Saturday, and Sound of the Sirens the next Friday.

I have also just booked to see The Unthanks in Bude, closing out the Literary Festival there.

I currently have 12 acts I'd like to see or have already booked for in the next 12 weeks. The problem is deciding which ones NOT to go to!


Now 13 - I just remembered that Lindisfarne are playing in Exmouth next month too!

Fish's performance live at Cropredy 2018 (his second appearance), having discovered that there is a bonus DVD of it with his The Last Straw live album, using the live feed from the cameras.  They seem to have done a good job of editing it to not show his backside after he burst a haemerrhoid during the performance (he hadn't had an accident in his jeans as it looked at the time!).

This is totally random but I found an old entertainment section from the Austin American-Statesman, dated April 24, 1996. It lists an upcoming performance by Martin Carthy and Dave Swarbrick at the Cactus Cafe. Until I stumbled across this, I had no idea these revered gents had ever come to my fair city. As an aside, I confess I had not discovered them as of that date, nor was I listening to folk music back then. In retrospect, however, I wish I had been more adventurous in my youth.
