Subject: RE: The State of Folk in the UK in 2016
In my area of Sussex, roughly within a 15-mile radius of home, I will probably play at the following events in May 2016:

* 29th April-1st May: Folk at the Fireside - a weekend of folk at the Woolpack in Burgess Hill.

* 2nd May: Brighton Acoustic Session, the Lord Nelson, Brighton (guests Dave Arthur & Dan Stewart), which I'll be MC'ing.

* 3rd May: English Tunes Session at the John Harvey Tavern, Lewes.

* 8th May: My own singaround/session at the George, Henfield.

* 9th May: The Village Singaround, Limes Bistro, Charlwood (strictly in Surreybut near enough to home!)

* 20th May: Seaford Folk Club (weekly) - Singers' Night

* 26th May: The Under Ground Theatre, Eastbourne - MC'ing and guesting at the monthly session, with Chris Wolferstan.

* 29th May: The White Horse Session in Ditchling - organised by members of the Unreel Ceilidh Band.

And, apart from that, I've got Unreel Ceilidh Band functions on 7th and 14th May and a rock'n roll gig at the Woolpack on 30th April.

And all that's without attending the weekly folk clubs at Lewes (Lewes Saturday Club) and the Willows Club at Arundel - plus others too numerous to mention here, and many other sessions in the locality. Actually, it's nice to have a night off occasionally!
