Hi All,

I had a great time in England while there. Myself and Ray Coen, who play's guitar and fiddle with me have just returned from a short tour around London, Slough, and Bath. We had some great gigs in London at the Walthamstow folk club where Russ and Kevin held a special night for us and where I had my London Launch of the CD. We then went down to Tom Kings pub in Slough, where we met some great people. Great musicians and singers and of course Tom himself was in great form.
We then went across country to the Old Road Pub in Chippnam where we again were very well recieved, as always.
Its a great venue and we love playing there.
I was teaching all week at the Bath summer school which was part of the Bath Folk Festival. We had concerts and sessions during the week, where we met some great musicians and made some great friends. I had a great bunch of people in my class and Ray had some classes that he was very happy with.
While we were there and playing, we teamed up with Jon Hicks, one of the best guitar players I have had the pleasure of hearing, who joined us for a lot of the sessions and gigs that we did.
We will be back again next year doing it all over again we hope.
Thanks to all the people we met who made our stay so good and enjoyable. Thanks to Zoe and Amadou to putting me up in their lovely house. To Anne for looking after my transport everywhere.
best wishes MAI
