Album Reviews
If you fancy reviewing a new (or not so new) album do email the write up, photo and contact details to dharley@smallbluegreenworld.com. They don’t have to be particularly recent. Mine often aren’t: sometimes it’s good to share something with people that they might have missed. [DH]

N.B. I’m happy to review CDs (etc) for Sabrinaflu – sometimes I even review CDs I bought myself – but if you want a folking.com review (and I’d encourage you to consider it: there’s a good review team there), it may be more effective to contact them directly rather than through me, though any requests will go through an internal process for allocation. Of course, I’m more likely to volunteer for CDs from artists I know, but there’s no guarantee that someone else won’t grab it first. And they might be better qualified than me. 🙂
Sabrinaflu reviews
Here’s our most recent review, courtesy of Keith Whiddon (of The Flying Toads and Bouzatina): Review: Emma and the Professor’s ‘Old Black Crow’.

And here are a couple I made earlier. [DH]
A Shropshire Lad: a 1994 CD by the late Michael Raven with vocals by Joan Mills, featuring settings of poems by A.E. Housman alternating with Welsh traditional (mostly) tunes played on solo guitar. Originally posted on my Shropshire Blues blog (which is more about Shropshire than blues!).
Vagrant Stanzas: a review of the 2013 recording by Martin Simpson. Originally posted on my personal web page.
