“Following the devastating loss of Rowan, out of the emptiness that followed an idea gradually  emerged to celebrate her life with a gig at Nettlebed Folk Club, where she performed regularly. This will be on the 6th June, 2 days after her birthday.
Inevitably I thought we should walk as well so the day before we will walk the Ridgeway, scene of some glorious Ramblers walks early on, and then walk into Nettlebed on the day itself. 
Having sung of those ‘chalk-white horses’ in the song The Wanderer so many times with Rowan I thought it right to start at the most iconic one- the Uffington White Horse. 
You are welcome to join us at any point. “

On Monday 6th June, the Nettlebed Folk Club are hosting a tribute concert for Rowan Godel. This concert will feature groups that Rowan sang with: John Jones, Ian Telfer, Alan Prosser & Al Scott from Oysterband, The Ladies of Nettlebed (Charlie Dore, Jackie Oates & Megan Henwood) and John Jones and the Reluctant Ramblers (including Benji Kirkpatrick, Al Scott, Tim Cotterell, Lindsey Oliver and Boff). Benji will be donating the proceeds from this show to a charity that Rowan would have liked to support. 

See the Nettlebed Folk Club website for details of this concert and to purchase tickets.

Alongside the gig, John and Colin will be walking on Sunday 5th June from the Uffington White Horse, starting at 11am, eastwards along the Ridgeway then descending to finish for a well-earned drink at the Red Lion pub in Blewbury; then on Monday 6th June, they will walk from Goring to Nettlebed for the tribute concert in the evening. Anyone is welcome to join them. Please make your own arrangements.
