It's May already?

This was going to be our April update, but suddenly its May!  We had a busy 2nd half of April (one of us was in Australia for the first half), with a Monday Monday gig, a Folk Against Fascism gig and a night at a brand new London folk night as well as our usual bi-weekly trips down to one of our favourite nights.

So, Monday Monday is going from strength to strength with Graham bringing fantastic acts to Clerkenwell (and kindly asking us to come along and play too every now and then).  The next one is on the 17th, where we'll be supporting Lou Brown.  Her myspace page (www.myspace.com/loubrownmusic) states that she draws inspiration from, amongst other things, her love of "The Sound of Music".  As this was my favourite movie when I was growing up, I'm looking forward to the seeing how this will link together!

The last week of April saw a week of Folk Against Fascism events, and we were asked to play at Walthamstow Folk Club's contribution to the week.  It was a great night, with many anti-Nick Griffin songs and poems.  Post election, we are of course very pleased that the BNP didn't get any seats. 

On the last Tuesday of the month we went along and played at the brand new Folk @ The Forge in camden (www.myspace.com/folkattheforge) run by the lovely Chris Sarjeant.  This is a monthly even in the restaurant attached to The Forge and I believe Chris has some great guests lined up for the coming months, so get down there if you can. 

Last but not least, you will more likely than not find us down at Folk in the Cellar at The Constitution in Camden every other Thursday (www.myspace.com/folkinthecellar).  This is very much an interactive night, so come down and bring an instrument or just your voice.  There are 10 min floor spots available between 9-11, and then a session for all.  Its very friendly and inclusive and is always a great night (plus there's cake at half time!).

That's about it for now.  Hope to see you out and about at one of our gigs (or someone elses) soon.
