Amy Harrison and the Secondhand Stringband Newsletter

Forgive the rough version of our newsletter, this is something we’re working on improving for the future so that it’s a joy to read when it hits your inbox!

Well, in the Secondhand Stringband world things are getting busier but first things first, I need to wish a big happy birthday to Tim and Malc!

Last Saturday we played at Tim’s birthday party which was great fun and a Godsend for Tim who had no idea where to get hold of a band that would play for a couple of cans of Oranjeboom. We happily stepped in.

This Thursday it’s Malc’s birthday which starts off the celebrations for 3 gigs this weekend (more information about that in the Upcoming Shows section below)

In other news, we’ll be playing at the Didmarton Bluegrass festival this year.

We’ll also be sharing a bill with The Coal Porters and Virginia band The Dixie bee Liners in August in Reading at what should be an awesome gig!

hope to see you soon!

If you’ve visited the website recently you might have read that I’m raising money for Marie Curie Cancer care by running a half marathon at the end of this month. I’m travelling up north to see family and go on a 13.1 mile jaunt.

All money I earn from gigs in June will be donated to Marie Curie and I’d like to say a huge thank you to everyone at The Great Eastern who kindly donated £40 towards the pot.
