The North West Expedition continues with three more folk clubs in the first week of July.

In among our busy June schedule Val even managed to fit in some temping work as well as organising more care home performances. Jimmy also set about the jiva musician/fan page on Facebook... thanks to everyone who has 'liked' this page and become a fan. If you've not already done so it's never too late! www.facebook.com/jivaukmusic.

We also had an afternoon at Woodhorn Colliery Museum where we not only checked out the venue for our upcoming 'Thank Folk It's Friday' performance but also enjoyed a tour around the site, rounding the day off nicely with trip to Druridge Bay and fish & chips in Amble... aah, this is the life... must get down to more writing and rehearsing and planning ahead for our next CD.
