Events - past and future


31 July 2021 - As we come back to life following the dire time of Covid, I have several new CDs, and recently gave  my hour long performance of "The Peaceful Weavers of Peterloo" its third outing, at Festival at The Edge at Hopton Court. (So good to be back in live circulation.)  I have recorded an hour long CD of the complete performance.




"The Peaceful Weavers of Peterloo", is available at the link above, together with a small number of Caps of Liberty/Bonnets Rouge, whose use during the French Revolutions and other conflicts, including at Peterloo, made them a famous symbol of revolutionary spirit!



The "Lifeboat Rescues" series of 4 CDs is now complete.. and available at the link above 
1 North Wales
2 Wales
3 The British Isles
4 Out From The British Isles


I have started a new series, which is called The Human Condition. The first CD is now available at the link above.
