    I am going to be touring schools in the East Riding in the new year as part of  

    the Creative Context experience. The theme this year is numbers, but I will be

    offering a creative and dramatic package to all schools in the area, (and indeed

    elsewhere), as well as the opportunity to commission me for a project tailored

    perfectly for your children.

14. Hang On for a Hang On Double Bill

      The fantastic Samantha and the wonderful Wendy will be teaming up with

       me to do a double bill with Hang On at the invitation of Mo Burrows of

       Tantara Arts. A date is awaited

       I fondly recall Hang On’s set at Whitby World Music Festival last year and

       the door stewards dancing in and out of the room. Being a semi-impro band

       they fit in wonderfully with our mellow but rock approach to poetry vocals.

       See albums below

       STOP PRESS As that date fell through we are hoping to have all the 

       Answers: The joy of Jane will also experienced at the forth coming date

       STOP PRESS II We are looking at a few other venues at the moment and

       will have enough for another newsletter in only a few weeks with a bit of 

luck. Kennedy’s and City Screen are well possibles, as are gigs for City of York City of Festivals.

Mo Burrows asks us to let you know that her World Music group HangOn have a CD out.  Crooked Grooves is available from Mo on 01759 380431, moburrows@tantara-arts.freeserve.co.uk, priced just £5.

Adrian Spendlow and the Answers have a master plan – blimey no – a Mistress plan, is that better girls? We will be recording a live set as soon as we have the right venue sorted – (Offers please) – then when the secret plan kicks into being we will be everywhere. No. Everywhere that we really really want to be. This is awesome. Other bands take note and sneakily peak in now and then for clues.
