Tim, It is not very well advertised (lost in the general pop type blurbs) but Apples and Snakes have a session at the North Devon Festival at Barnstaple on June 16th. I only know about this because one of Arrowhead's authors - Martin Figura - is reading from his new book "Whistle". Probably not of interest, but thought I'd give you the chance to remain in isolation or not as you choose.
