Dear Folks,
I hope you have all had a great summer of festivals..it's not over yet of course with Fylde this weekend and Bromyard a little later this month. Tony Cox will be at Fylde. He had great reviews at the Edinburgh Fringe so don't miss this South African guitarist. If you do miss him on this occasion you can always book him through me for your own events. Take a look http://www.amandalynnemusic.com/index.php?page=bio&display=213
Dabbers Session meets this Thursday (Tonight ) at the Oddfellows Arms in Welsh Row Nantwich 8pm. and every first Thursday of the month.Please join us, all are welcome. It's also one of the nicest pubs in Nantwich ! Give me a call if you need directions.

Miriam Backhouse and David Etheridge reunited this summer over 30 years after recording 'Gypsy Without A Road', to take a new slant on Miriams' traditional song with Davids' orchestral, multi track layering and production talents. I look forward to hearing this innovative new recording. They are available for bookings together next summer when Mim's next UK tour begins.
Lyra Celtica have also been recording and this beautiful wildlife video 'Haughs Of Cromdale' is just a taster of what is to come http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sk7umyjBOsA The three latter acts are all available for bookings through me.
