As this is Queen’s Birthday weekend, we have a song about a queen, but also one about a king – The King!

It is Henry Lawson’s 140^th birthday next Sunday, and the town of Grenfell has its annual Henry Lawson Festival this weekend, so we’ll play a couple of Henry’s poems put to music.

Moving Cloud’s (the Irish one) second and final album, “Foxglove” is a recent acquisition, so I’ll play some tracks from it.
