‘Johnny Cash Forever Words’ CD review

Another of my reviews for folking.com: an amazing array of country(-ish) artists collaborating on an album of songs based on a collection of his writing edited by Paul Muldoon (Forever Words: The Unknown Poems).

VARIOUS ARTISTS – Johnny Cash Forever Words (Legacy Recordings)

Wheatsheaf, Shrewsbury High Street

I mentioned ages ago that the Thursday session at the Wheatsheaf in Shrewsbury (Acoustic Sloggers Facebook group), and the 1st/3rd Wednesday Wheatsheaf Open Mic , are back on track after a bit of a hiccup, but I forgot to update the regular events page as regards the Thursday session. Now done! (That’s the Wheatsheaf in High Street, by the way.)

Sorry guys. Hope to get along there again on one of my future trips to Shrewsbury.

CD Review: Keith James ‘Captured’

Another of my reviews for folking.com:

KEITH JAMES – Captured: The Best Of Keith James (Hurdy Gurdy HGA2927)

A very fine selection of tracks from a distinguished career.

Session at Sun in Clun (temporarily) moving

[And, as of May 2018, it’s back at the Sun! Hope they enjoyed their little holiday in Bishops Castle. 🙂 ]

Note from Trevor Hedges:

“The Sun in Clun has closed – booo!

It’s temporary – not so bad then…..

The fourth Thursday folk session, widely regarded as one of the best in this neck of the woods, has a new home for the duration – The Three Tuns in Bishops Castle – hurrah!!

The Three Tuns is the home of Three Tuns beer – double hurrah!!

Jen and Dave Wright will be doing their usual brilliant job of keeping some order to proceedings on Thursday 22nd March – we hope all the regulars can make it. And if you’ve not been able to get to the Clun session why not come along to The Three Tuns, a great pub as it is, and see what it’s all about.”

Meadow Folk Club ‘is no more’

Sadly, according to https://www.facebook.com/meadowfolkclub/ ‘the Meadow folk club is no more’. Hasn’t been since early 2017, but these things tend to pass me by now I don’t live in the area.

Regular events page amended accordingly.
