Folk news 24th-30th Oct

Official Poppy Appeal song for the 100th anniversary is Joss Stone and Jeff Beck playing Eric Bogle's '"No Man's Land" - about time we had a folk song in the charts again!  Sarah McQuaid has a new album out in Feb '15 - Folk For All hopes to preview it pre-release in a future prog.  Sarah is touring the UK in November, but not near us, I'm afraid.  This week, we'll have to be content with Dave Burland, Dick Gaughan, Chris Newman & Maire ni Chathashaigh, Jon Heslop, Croab Ruah - plus local heros Jeff Henry and 'Phil & Jane' -enough to be going on with, I'd say!
