No problem Muppitz. No one knows everywhere! It is in the West Country on the North coast, just up on the border, where England gives way to beautiful Cornwall. (To be fair to it, Devon is not a bad looking place either...) It's a couple of miles up the coast from Tintagel and Boscastle etc.

Would have loved to have helped out. Unfortunately I'm gigging all weekend. Good luck with it and let us know for next year!

Cheers,
Jon Loomes

'Scuse my incompetence but where is Bude?????
There's a possibility I could be convinced now that Cleethorpes has sadly demised and I wouldn't be seen at Chester again until they get somesort of security sorted out.

Yes, we are aware that it is chippenham, and this has been discussed on another thread. However, we cannot change the date for this year. that is something that may well change for next year.
We really would like a few dance sides, I know its a tall ask when there is no money involved, butif there are any keen for a practise in a festival atmosphere, then please get in touch!
Cheers, Lucy

We've already contacted Hawker, and it's in our diary - sounds good.

for what its worth, check out breezy who ran the St Albans Windward club - where george Papavgeris was resident and still has some connection - as he normally goes to padstow for a week at whit

he'll probably be down for may-day so get hawker to sound him out

He also used to run a folk club at the Summerleaze hotel in Bude before he was poached by the oss folk

he's booked for Folk on the moor later this year so he still does the occasional gig

George Papavgeris knows how to handle him

There's a good chance I might make it, but would need somewhere to kip for the night with the good lady Vanessa.

A Festival too far I fear.

Also it clashes with Chippenham which could be a problem for you.

Are there any UK musicians out there who are FREE ( in more ways than one ! ) this coming Whitsun weekend, viz. 25--28th May 2007 ?? It is hoped to Revive and Resurrect the moribund Bude Folk Festival next month.As it is necessary to convince the " Powers that Be " of its viability, performers ( AND festival attendees !! ) are needed, BUT --for the performers, there is virtually no budget available ( next year , perhaps ) --it"s a "chicken & egg " situation !!
SO--could ANY artistes, groups,ceilidh-bands,Morris sides, Appalachian teams, cloggers, rappers, lion-tamers or exhibitionists, who are NOT booked to play /perform / expose themselves at Whitsun next month , consider helping out with this Worthy Cause and coming along to perform just for the camaraderie and the craic----You"ll be famous for it ,I promise !! If you"ve nothing better to do ( and, let"s face it, what COULD be better than helping to re-establish another Folk Venue, in such a beautiful and friendly part of the country ??? )--Then PLEASE get in touch --preferably with "HAWKER " , as she lives a mere oggie- throw from lovely Bude, and I don"t !! If you can"t come yourselves, PLEASE tell your friends about us /it !! Thankyou for reading this !!.......Roger..
