So I’m contributing to a record that’s coming out with a whole bunch of musicians on it from primarily the folk world called ‘Rumours of Rain’. It’s basically an offering of protest against the war in Iraq. The problem is that it’s being mixed in Nashville right now and I’m in Cardiff.So the chorus of the song is played and recorded onto my answer phone, and I take it from there. I record my parts at home and then convert them into a file and send it down the line to the studio in Nashville and four minutes later its available for insertion into the track..amazing really. The project is the baby of Cathryn Craig & Brian Willoughby’s. Brian plays with the Strawbs and I met him at the Edmonton Folk festival. He kindly asked if I would like to be involved and there we go. It’s a small world in many ways. Will give you more details when I have them but there are some great folk involved including Nanci Griffiths, Ralph Mactell, Martin Carthy etc.
