Do you think Torquay is ready for a folk festival?    I think it is.

I think it would give the footballers wives and the BMW drivers, alongside the oiks and the 'Ooh I have soooooo much money!' boats owners a new outlook on life.....and hey, it could be held on the water!

Torquay desperately needs some magic and spirit sprinkled over it...and as Sidmouth has become sooooo old, grumpy and cruddy, well, I think that maybe the new venue for The Firey Folk Festival of Great Britain should be.....The English Riviera!

We could have The Demon Barber Roadshow doing 'Riviera Dance'...wowing them all down on the Quayside...and we could infiltrate McDonalds, sing them songs about Corporate Businessmen. At night, we could have the equivalent of The Ham, down in Kents Cavern! Can you just imagine the acoustics in those caves? Incredible!

Cockington Park, now that would make the best venue of all, amongst the thatched houses and the Blacksmith's cottage, the horse and carriage taking people around the village...Lutyen's pub taking the place of The Bedford....yes, we could have a singaround in The Drum Inn....and the headline acts could play with the background of the lakes behind them...

Oh wow, Duncan's electric folk band inside Kents Cavern! I mean, they nearly brought the house down at The Ham a few years back, they'd be sensational there...

My head is whizzing with ideas!

And sorry to tell you but you won't be headlining.

I have an admission to make....

I'd ALWAYS have those Gorgeous Oysters headlining at my festival.
I have an admission to make....

'Folk In The Bay!'

That's what I'll call it....and we have a HUGE balloon down on the seafront that rises up above the town, like a large bubble...Imagine that, flying above The Bay whilst the Oysterband are singing 'Over The Water' down below, their voices rising up Torre Abbey...as you rise higher and higher towards the Evening Star....

'Folk In The Bay'...about as Close to Heaven as you can get...

Yeah! :0)

Anyway Duncan get in there!! And Lizzie is a great fan of yours, as I am, so she'll be happy to pay top whack.

But it'll be good with things in caves and balloons over the Bay. Let me know when you have a confirmed booking and I'll be down to see you if I can.
