I haven't posted any audio for a while, so here's a version of Camptown Races.
It was written by Stephen Foster in 1850. Foster was a pioneering proffessional songwriter who died tragically young at the age of thirty-seven after writing a body of songs which are still popular today, Oh Suzanna, Beautiful Dreamer, Swannee River etc.

Here's a little taster of Sam Barrett in action. He'll be playing In The Dock at the Old Courthouse, Thirsk on March 20th, but if you haven't got tickets... too late it's sold out!

Girls vs Boys - 20th March The Old Courthouse, Thirsk
Kate from In The Dock
sent:
A humdinger of an evening in prospect with boys versus girls. Opening with Serious Sam Barrett, David Broad and Michael Rossiter. Each an amazing performer in their own right they come together in a guitar, banjo and washboard picking frenzy with inspiring vocal confidence and a real joy in their old time Americana influences.
This year saw Australian Emily Barker and her all girl band perform at Glastonbury, Cambridge Folk Festival and also support Jose Gonzalez. Emily and co bring the intimate sounds of guitar, violin, cello, accordion and flute to a captivating night of alternative country at The Courthouse. If you happened to have caught BBC1’s drama ‘Wallander’ starring Kenneth Branagh you will have heard Emily Barker. Her track ‘Nostalgia’ was used as the title music for the series.
Fans of Lucinda Williams, Martha Wainwright and Gillian Welsh should not miss this unique billing.
