Above: Jim meets James Lawson (the drummer of Lovers of The Fancy who was also one of 16 artists in the 'Always On My Mind' show which was held in aid of The National Brain Appeal. Lovers of The Fancy describe themselves as being a "Sensational Bluesabilly Trio that bring you Syncopated Swamp Beat and Victorian Stomp." I think their new song 'Signals' is fantastic.
