Spook is joined on the video by folk music icons including Tom Paxton, Noel Paul Stookey (of Peter, Paul & Mary), Christine Lavin, John McCutcheon, American blues artist Guy Davis, and two dozen nationally touring musicians – a healthy handful of whom are local to New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Including Carol Crittenden!

We’re in the grip of an international emergency and all of our lives have changed. We’re facing new challenges, and restrictions, and it can get tough for us all at times, in different ways. With increased financial insecurity for many, many more people right now will be finding themselves in food poverty, and will be turning to the Foodbanks to help get them through this most difficult of times.

Please donate whatever and whenever you can. Every little helps. Every £1 matters. We’ve currently raised £1237!Thank you so much for your support with this, and to all of you who have donated, so far. We truly appreciate it!

Watchers/listeners will also be very welcome to tune in to the Skinner & T’witch’s Online Social Club to watch/listen from 7pm UK (2pm US ET/4am AUS ET) on Sunday.

See you there, and then..!

NB Please bear with us if we have some technical hitches. We’ll get there! ❤️🎶

If you’d like to play at the Pick n’ Mix Online Singarounds on August 2nd or 16th, from 7pm-9pm UK, then please let T’witch know via email skinnerandtwitch@gmail.com or via Facebook Messenger and she’ll confirm your slot/note your attendance and let you have further details.

There should be enough time for two or three songs each, depending on how many of us are interested in performing.

The Pick n’ Mix ethos means that any genre of music will be welcomed, as will non-musical genres such as dance, poetry, comedy etc..

Skinner & T’witch have set up this Pick n’ Mix Online Social Club on Facebook, as a place for other artists and ourselves to share our music and find a new audience; for viewers to find entertainment and hopefully feel less isolated; and as a place to raise money for the Foodbanks.

In addition to the marvellous home videos that artists post on the Online Social Club page, we (Skinner & T’witch) host weekly events generally on Sunday nights (or at alternative times, if we are including international artists from further afield that week) from 7-9pm UK (2-4pm US ET/Mondays 5-7am AUS ET). This includes fortnightly singarounds and fortnightly artist showcases (in rotation), and live sessions from Skinner & T’witch.

Stay safe, folks! Together, we’re getting through this!!
