Hello, I hope you are well.

Today there is a 50p Friday thing that links to to another thing. In short I have a very rare little Shirley Collins 5 track EP as the 50p download. As you'd expect from the young Shirley, it is without fault. It can be downloaded here.

Then, I got an email last night telling me about an ongoing Kickstarter campaign for a film all about Shirley, the voice of English folk. The Kickstarter has been going for two weeks, is over half funded and has 12 days left. I think a film about this unique woman needs to be made. The link is here. And you can donate as little as £1 apparently. There are some interesting updates on the campaign including a rare tribute to Shirley from Stewart Lee.

Also, I have to apologies to anyone with a hotmail address. Apparently you have not been getting any newletters from Greedbag for about 6 weeks. This is because Microsoft have been blocking them all, assuming they are spam. Which is nice. And no, I don't understand either. The problem has possibly been solved now. But maybe we'll never know.

I have sent this email earlier than normal as I am now off to a wedding in Liverpool. I am not getting married. However I have tickets for the Mersey Ferry on Saturday and will find it impossible to not sing about it all weekend.

Best wishes

Jonny
