including Merthyr and Cardiff. www.croesoproject.org
I am performing a new, unrecorded song called 'Paul Robeson in the Rhondda'
which I co-wrote with Kathryn Lay.
'He cast a mighty shadow stretching from New Jersey
it hangs there like an echo in the hushed library
where stubborn, ancient walls were built to keep him out
as the ivy evening falls and the football boys shout ...
come along with me past the rust and burned out Hondas
I'll show you a night - Paul Robeson in the Rhondda

Monday 7th November - Sunday 20th November shows and recording with David Childers in and around Charlotte, North Carolina, West Virginia and Ohio.
... from David Childer's website ... Next week, on November 7, Terry Clarke, a friend from Scotland who writes and sings songs influenced by our own rockabilly and country music, will arrive to do a string of shows with us. I met Terry at the Celtic Connections Festival in Glasgow, Scotland which I played in January, 2004. After a jam session at the Howood Inn in Howood, Scotland, we decided we liked the combination, and ended up playing three sets together at the festival. We also decided we should do it more. We will be playing in the Charlotte area, and in Ohio, and West Virginia. Some will be band shows. Others will be songwriter nights with other writers, including me. Check out the website schedule for more details. www.davidchilders.com. There you will also find links to Terry's website. Terry's first show will be this Wednesday night, November 9, at Rodi in Gastonia. 8 pm show time.www.davidchilders.com

... from David Childers website ... "Thanks to all who have come out, especially those who took time to hear Terry Clarke, our recent guest from the UK, who played some fine music for us all while he was here. Just before he left yesterday, he told me that the places we had shown him were his favorites in the USA so far. A lot of that was because of the good people he met. Thanks. We know we have great fans, but it is always good to have that belief reinforced."
