Shirley Collins—my heroine—and Folk Roots, New Routes—her special event!
Dear all:
This update is solely about my heroine Shirley Collins. As many of you know, I have loved Shirley's work for about 20 years, and I am so happy and excited that she is being honoured with FOLK ROOTS, NEW ROUTES, a special series of events, curated by her, at London's South Bank. A BBC Radio 4 programme on Tuesday 25 March at 11.30 starts the event. I really recommend this with all my heart, and hope to see many of you there.
A proper Current 93 update will be sent out just before we start our European shows. For those who are interested in attending our shows in Wrocław, Moscow, Berlin, Beurges, Tilburg and London, please visit our website at www.durtro.com.
Love to you all,
David Tibet+++
