Respect to this fella, Calum Gilligan. He opened the evening concert last night at Kimpton Folk Fest and blew everyone away with his beautiful voice. He’s decided to stop touring for the time being and shift career paths. But I’m sure you’ll hear him again somewhere! #folksinger #liverpool

I put a lot into this one. It might lift your spirits in this troubled week. It was certainly quite good for me to make it. www.mixcloud.com/Jimbobfagan/...
