Although there are still few 'live' folk events taking place, there are plenty of 'mediated' experiences for us to enjoy including community radio and more active Zoom on-line meetings/sing-alongs. Do let us know of other such events that we should be telling people about. Please send Wayne any items for the week covering 24-30 August, as I will be away for a few days. - Julie
Please Note - New/seriously revised items are in yellow and this week's calendar, starting with Monday 17th August, is at the bottom.

More People Have Songs. Miguel Heatwole has recently brought to fruition a sequel to a double album he produced 20 years ago called The People Have Songs. This was a collection of over forty folk singers (mostly from Sydney) and was headed by the title track, an original song of mine about the joy and inclusiveness of a traditional folk singing session. The new album is a single disk, and is called More People Have Songs.
It isn't yet available for download, but $26.10 will get a copy of it, with its 8 page lyrics booklet, delivered to your mailbox. Miguel's bank details are:

A Night of Cream & Hendrix. - 8pm
Join Drey Rollan band for an experience of where psychedelic blues-rock guitar began in '60s London. Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce & Ginger Baker formed the first power trio, Cream, who went on to create the Blues/Rock genre. This sound became iconic when US guitar sensation, Jimi Hendrix, took the sound to supernatural heights. This tribute show brings together some of their classics, where music became colours that lit up the room.
