I'd probably agree, if the band was made up of unknowns, but all of the members (other than the guitarist) are relatively well-known on the folk scene, which is probably what they're hoping will sell the tickets.

Croydon Ashcroft Theatre and possibly Tunbridge Wells - beware of row L at Tunbridge Wells, the seats are hard and very uncomfortable, but parking is free!!

At Croydon however, be prepared for draconian parking charges - £8 unless there is a deal with the Fairfield. It used to be possible to take your ticket to the booking office and pay a reduced rate of £5.

Just bought a Windows 7 PC and was at last able to watch my HD video of Blair playing Canadeeio at the In Search of Nic Jones gig last May - superb!!

I asked for a tracklist and was informed... "The track list is 12 in number. 2 tracks have been preformed by previous Albions. Most of the rest was written for the album by the current lineup..."

Not really, Chris.  The goddaughters and their Mum live just down the road, so a weekend visit and a trip to the gig with Mum is a distinct possibility.

I don't think anyone was questioning the ability of the band, just the appropriateness of the nomenclature.

I'll still be amazed if there are more than three men and a dog at Worthing Assembly Rooms but that is more about the venue than the act.

Gavin Davenport from the New Albion Band is writing a blog for UK Folk Music, and is about to produce a new article for us in the next few days.

http://www.ukfolkmusic.co.uk/blog/guest-writers/gavin-davenport/

We hope to be receiving a copy of the album for us to review and perhaps feature in a UK Folk Music podcast soon.
