Michel, Marcela, Rich and more...

We hope you enjoyed tonight's show. It was a pleasure to be able to bring you live music from our Columbian friends, Michel and Marcela, accompanied by our own Rich.

Live music with AmaVoché

Don't miss rootsandshoots this Monday 21 July when we will be joined in the studio by local acapella duo AmaVoché singing some of their songs and talking about their music.

Kenyan music and talk

Thank you so much to Jill Ashby for sharing with us her experiences in Kenya and giving information about fundraising via the Lucy Fund back home. Thanks too for helping to choose a great variety of Kenya music. See Jill's photos of people and schools taken on a Kenyan visit last year.

If you would like to buy a CD of modern Kenyan music by Outta Limits contact Jill by email to get her address: jillashby@hotmail.com and then send on a cheque for £8 (payable to Jill Ashby). She'll get you a copy as soon as she can. She's involved in a Garden Party (money raised goes to The Lucy Fund) on Saturday:

SUMMER GARDEN PARTY
at The Old Barn, Doccombe. Saturday 19th July, 2-6 pm.
