SUMMARY:An Evening Of Conversation And Music With Ian A Anderson
DESCRIPTION:Ian A. Anderson – no\, not that one! – began his solo musical career in the mid 1960s\, heavily influenced by old country blues players\, before taking a left-swerve in the early ’70s into what nowadays gets called ‘psych folk’\, with a trio of songwriter/ guitarist albums for the pioneering and now highly collectable independent label Village Thing.\nHe eventually settled into a personal – and notably English – style\, drawing from traditional folk\, blues\, old-time and world roots musics\, making some dozen albums by the end of the 1980s with groups Hot Vultures (with Maggie Holland)\, the English Country Blues Band and Tiger Moth. Then after a break from live performances in the 1990s he returned to stages and recording this century\, with the trio Blue Blokes 3 (with PiL’s Lu Edmonds and 3 Mustaphas 3’s Ben Mandelson)\, the duo The False Beards (again with Mandelson)\, a re-union tour by Hot Vultures in 2016 and a very effective double-header partnership with Northumbrian traditional music master Alistair Anderson as Not The Anderson Twins.\nOver the years he’s appeared in multiple guises at most of the UK’s important folk/roots venues and festivals (from the very first Glastonbury to Cambridge\, Sidmouth\, Shrewsbury\, WOMAD and many more). Since 2017\, he’s been enjoying performing and recording solo again\, with repertoire and tales drawn from across those sixty years of experience.\nTwo recent well-received compilation CDs – Onwards! and Onwards Vol 2: A Crown Of Crows (on Ghosts From The Basement) – range over his entire recording career\, and all his early solo albums were re-issued as the 4-CD boxed set Please Re-adjust Your Time by Cherry Red in 2021.\nHe now lives in Cambridge\, from where he also produces and presents the long-running Podwireless podcast – covering “the world of folk\, roots music and associated weirdos.”\nIan received a Lifetime Achievement Award from Folk Alliance International in 2019\, the Gold Badge Award of the English Folk Dance & Song Society in 2015 and the Womex Award in 2010.\nHis long-awaited book ALIEN WATER: Six Decades Paddling In Unpopular Music is published by Ghosts From The Basement in 2025.

SUMMARY:An Evening In The Company Of Marnie Riches
DESCRIPTION:When Gill Swanley decides to take up gardening to fight a midlife malaise\, she never expected it to become quite such a dangerous hobby.\nPushing herself to ‘get out there’\, Gill picks herself up the secateurs and joins the Bromley Botanists. Here she finds a seven-strong group whose main agenda is how to win the coveted Golden Trowel for best community club of the year.\nBut when a dead body turns up in the community greenhouse\, they suddenly have more serious matters to consider than victory. They must uncover whether their arch-rivals\, Croydon\, are taking things to another level or whether someone more dangerous is targeting their rag tag group.\nCan they dig up the truth before someone else is left pushing up the daisies? \nMarnie Riches grew up on a rough estate in north Manchester. Exchanging the spires of nearby Strangeways prison for those of Cambridge University\, she gained a Masters in German & Dutch. She has been a punk\, a trainee rock star\, a pretend artist and professional fundraiser. Aside from literary pursuits\, gardening is her passion.\nMarnie’s award-winning crime-thriller debut\, The Girl Who Wouldn’t Die\, is ten years old this spring\, and in that decade she has become a bestselling contributor to the genre\, with four critically acclaimed series and hundreds of thousands of books sold in the UK alone. The Gardeners’ Club – a must-read for Richard Osman fans – may be Marnie’s twelfth murder mystery\, but it is her first foray into cosy crime…with a horticultural twist!\nWhen she isn’t writing about murder most foul\, Marnie teaches academic writing for the Royal Literary Fund. She has been a course tutor and supervisor for Cambridge University’s Masters in crime- and thriller-writing. She teaches crime-writing for New Writing North and has also taught the Faber Novel Writing Course. She pens historical romance under the pseudonym\, Maggie Campbell.\nwww.marnieriches.com
