Summer has been fairly active. A short tour of Bavaria took place in May just before the build up to the 40th anniversary gig. Blogs & photos on the 40th are up on site and more of this and Bavaria will be with you shortly.
To coincide with String Driven Thing’s 40th birthday, a book has been launched celebrating 40 years since the launch of the Famous Charisma label. This excellent book by Mark Jones features forewords by Chris Adams & Michael Palin. Retailing at £14.99, the book is published by The Record Press (www.bristol-folk.co.uk).

Whilst some band members take a well earned break, Chris & Robin are going out as a duo and will be appearing at Lomond Folk Festival, Balloch at the end of July and then with “Not The Incredible String Band” in their pre –Fringe gig at Carradale Hotel on 6 August. They return to The Doghouse in Balloch on 13th August. Other gigs are in the offing, so watch the website for up to date info.
