- Yes! While I'd say my feelings about Ashes and Diamonds are stronger than
- lukewarm, I seem to match your tase in June Tabor material farily closely,
- and her album with Martin Simpson is probably my favorite of them all. I'd
- highly recommend it. Another favorite of mine, which may be impossible to
- find these days is a 12" EP (45rmp) with 4 songs by June done live on the
- air for the John Peel Show on Raido One. On it are Lord Bateman, The Banks
- of the Sweet Dundee (and are my favorite two on the disk), Joni Mitchell's
- The Fiddle and the Drum, and Donal Og. All 4 are done a capella. (Oh, and
- for you who insist on full information, it's on Strange Fruit records
- SFPS015.)
