The summer has been full of interesting projects-
A fascinating endeavour working with local history groups and archive materials associated with Cripplegate Park in Worcester with three performances in Cripplegate Park on June 20th. Glastonbury has now been and gone.
The West Somerset Folk Festival was great fun and highly recommended.
The Big Green Gathering was cancelled at short notice.

Folk Against Fascism
The British National Party has recently been appropriating British folk music, customs and culture as a means of spreading their racist policies. They are selling traditional music through their Excalibur merchandising arm, despite the protestations of many of the artists included, who find their policies abhorrent.
I am strongly opposed to the misappropriation of our traditional music for this purpose. While I celebrate our national traditions in my music, song and stories
• I will never knowingly permit my music to be used for racist purposes, and if you ever find it being so used please tell me.
• I wish to make it quite plain that, regardless of my love for British traditional music, dance, song and customs, I DO NOT support or endorse the BNP or any of its policies – in fact I find them abhorrent.
There are Folk Against Fascism groups on Facebook and MySpace, and there will be a website in due course which will have details of further plans. I will put a link to it as soon as I have it, but in the meantime please also consider signing the Hope Not Hate petition
