Folk News 9th-15th May

What a week!  Cara Dillon, The Wilson Family, Marie Little, plus good friends of Folk For All/Chichester Hospital Radio: Sarah McQuaid, Spiers & Boden, and the equally wonderful Askew Sisters.  Several of these have featured tracks on this week's programme, which also has a live studio session from superb singer/songwriter Sylvia Watts (Season's Turn, Flowers of England, Rise Like Larks, Cider For Me,...).  This week completes 11 years of Folk For All, as next week is the anniversary.  Where has the time gone?  Who knows?  (There's a song in there, somewhere...).  CHR on-line listening is now back in service after recent interruptions, and there's lots of good entertainment for patients, visitors and staff of St. Richard's - and outside, too!
