Hello all,

I recently found out that the great singer and song collector Len Graham is
going to be
coming to the U.S. I got the information below from Kate Akers, who is helping
with the
tour. I have several of his CDs, and his singing is fantastic--I love, in
particular, his
version of "Wheels of the World," and "The Bonny Brown Hen," and lots of others.
I have
missed the chance to hear him perform "live," and am excited to get the
opportunity to
hear him in person. You should not miss it, either--if you live anywhere near
any of these
shows and love Irish song, you really should get yourself out to hear this Irish
national
treasure!

Mark
