Over in London for the Saturday Camden show (which was IMHO really
fantastic - up in the top 3 of the 14 times I've seen them) and trawling
through the good CD shops in Soho.

Walked into one and heard an album by a band called the Grip Weeds - never
heard of them before and immediately snapped up the CD "Summer of a Thousand
Years" - it's just soooooo lovely. Loads of 12-strings and paisley - anybody
else know anything about this band?

One nice thing is that they record their own albums at their own small
studio and own *all* their own recordings - no big record companies
involved.

I just checked out their web site and it appears they're playing the UK and
Spain in April......so, another air ticket to buy.....

Back to Saturday - didn't see a huge number of Seancers (I arraived a bit
late for the get-together) but I met Daryl (spelling) and Ian and saw Anne
Ward and her brother Nick.  I'm off to Berne on Thursday as it's only 2
hours from me - let's hope it's as good as Saturday.

Cheers
