Will of course be at Fylde - under several guises!

John Bond's singaround session at the Mount - family room on Friday 12.00 could be a good start - or for Irish music Rusty and Stu will be in the next bar area (thank God for doors!!!!!)

Wednesday night's pre-festival gathering will be on at the Falcon from 8.30pm with open mike sessions til' closing. Everyone is welcome

For details on the Falcon and Fyldefolk Festival go to the - Fyldefolk Web Site.

It's a shame Ben and Joe Broughton can't make it this year due to a family illness - I sure everyone's thoughts are with them.

Are you bringing a talented young person (under 18) with you? why not let them enter the "Tallyman Contest" - there's a lot of headliners that started off there......

Also don't forget all the workshops - from beginners to advanced.....

Hope to see a few more Mudcatters to add to those I met at Sidmouth.

Pete

PS - Be warned the Illuminations switch on is on Friday 31st August and roads leading to and in and around Blackpool will be very busy..........
