...a gig with Jackie Oates in the Bedford! Hasn't it come around quickly this year? No it hasn't, that's a stupid phrase and we all know it! It comes around about as quickly as Christmas; ie never soon enough. So what's been happening? Well i took part in a residency earlier this month in Cecil Sharp House with the Askew Sisters and some classical musicians working on and putting together a collection of mediaeval music and song from various parts of Europe which we performed at the end of the week.
