Subject: RE: Pigs Ear Kentish Horse Folk Ale 2010
I think we've cleared up the pricing confusion, but just in case...

A weekend ticket costs £25 and includes all the concerts and camping. All monies from tickets go to pay the artists fees, so we can do it all again next year. As most people have commented its ridiculously good value.

If you don't have a weekend ticket (ie just a day ticket) and want to camp, it's £5 per pitch per night.

If you don't have a ticket at all, there's not much I can do about it, since we hold it in a public house - but who d'you think pays for it all???? 't'ain't done by magic.

FOOD AND DRINK
The pub usually have Biddenden cider on as well as lots of beer. Can I confirm that only food and drink purchased from the Kentish Horse should be consumed in the marquee, garden or bar - in other words, keep your own on the campsite. Gina and Jeremy at TKH have been hugely supportive of the Ale. Yes, they do a lot of business over the weekend, but you all know (or should) how valuable good landlords/landladies are to live music. TKH hosts a folk session once a month, and has occasional live bands. It's not easy running a rural pub - I call on all good men, women and Leopards to do their duty at the bar....

PRE-FESTIVAL EVENTS (all villages around Edenbridge):
Four Elms pub in Four Elms village are holding an acoustic/folk fest the previous Sunday and Bank Holiday Monday. A more contemporary feel than Pigfest. Open mic slots Monday afternoon. Ticket entry.
Tuesday 1st June - extra session at Elsie's, QUeens Arms Cowden Pound. Bits of Pigs (Grant and Sue) will be supporting this session (other bits will be supporting the Punch and Judy in Tonbridge)
Weds 2nd June - Ashdown Morris Men are at the Kentish Horse
Thurs 3rd June - Travelling Folk are at the Kentish Horse
..and Pigfest starts Friday 4th.

T_SHIRTS
I've seen Ben's design for this year's Folk Ale Ts. Brilliant. (Thought, perhaps we should do designer wellies...?)

ANything else?

Oh, weather! Yes, of course it'll be fine. If all this talk of wellies hasn't scared off the rain, the sacrificial Sunday at the Sweeps MUST have done. (Mustn't it?)

Now, as long as Fiat get around to putting a new engine in our (3-year-old!) car in time for towing the caravan up to Markbeech, we're all set...
