For some years, Neil White (ex-Old Time News editor) has been hosting mainly
Old Time concerts at his local, the Crabshell in Kingsbridge, South Devon.
Now, thanks to the generosity of his previous guests, he has been able to
release a cd sampler.
So, titled simply 'The Crabshell COncerts 2005-2012' it features an hour of
music from the tradition, donated by each of the acts that have featured in
the 29 concert series. They are some of the most admired and respected
players from both sides of the Atlantic who, amongst them, have sold out
the Albert Hall; achieved championship honours; broken audience records;
starred on TV, film and radio and won accolades galore. Superb performers at
the top of their powers, everyone one has earned worldwide acclaim.
The cd is on sale from the Crabshell Inn or from Crabshell Records, 2
Clipper Quay, Embankment Road, Kingsbridge, TQ7 1SJ at £10 in person or £12
with p&p (£14.50 abroad), sterling cheques payable to Crabshell Records.
Any profits from the sales are entirely dedicated to promoting live,
professional music of the tradition in and around Kingsbridge.
Featuring tracks from the Orpheus Supertones; Jeff Davis with Brian Peters;
Bayou Seco; Ira Bernstein and Riley Baugus; The Carrivick Sisters; Jeff
Warner; Beverly Smith and Carl Jones; the Albemarle Ramblers; Simon Mayor
and Hilary James; Debby McClatchy; Phil Beer; Julie Felix; Pete Coe; Kate
Lissauer; Sid Kipper; Sara Grey; Tom, Brad and Alice

To All Killington Campers
Saturday 14th July is Woody Guthrie's 100th birthday. Also, as many of you
know, our venerable host Joe Fearnhead, is a big Woody fan. To celebrate,
we thought that it would be nice to have a Woody Guthrie singaround early on
Saturday evening around our traditional Killington barbecue time. Please
bring along your favorite Woody song for a good old hootenannie.
It might be useful if you could send Hugh Connor your song name in advance,
so that he can make sure that we don't have 17 versions of "This Land is
Your Land" !
