Just spotted that Mary Gauthier is playing upstairs at the Royal Native Oyster Stores tomorrow night (Saturday May 14). All the way from Nashville to your doorstep, you lucky Whitstable-ites! Her 1999 album Drag Queens in Limousines is one of my favourites (and I'd like it back soon, Mike!). She's worked with such notable producers as Gurf Morlix, Joe Henry and, most recently, Michael Timmins of Cowboy Junkies. Quite a coup for the Whitstable Folk Club @ Royal Native Oyster Stores people, I reckon.
