Final Howlround gig of the year and I’m playing my dear old hometown for the first time EVER! Live in-store at Carlisle’s excellent Vinyl Cafe alongside The Heartwood Institute. An evening of mulled wine and wintery sounds to warm your cockles. Hope to see some of my northern contingent there?! In the meantime, further information can be found at the Vinyl Cafe Website and Facebook Page. Go, have a click and befriend them, won’t you? I certainly never ever thought I’d see the day when you could walk into a shop in Carlisle andbuy Meredith Monk LPs. What a world!
In other news, I’m busy compiling my now-traditional Festive Mix of personal favourites from the past twelve months, which looks set to be another bumper-packed goody bag. It’s going to take a while to put it all together, so I thought that you might appreciate a reminder of last year’s effort while you’re waiting.
