Now that the music licence has come through, we can make public the news that Market traders at Welshpool are whiling away the quiet Saturday afternoons singing and playing folk tunes.

Markets are in decline all over the country, and diversification is as important to us as to the farmers. Welshpool has a huge market hall with brilliant accoustics, and we start playing at 2pm ish.

Any musicians in the vicinity will be made very welcome, and we can always use listeners!!

That's Welshpool, Powys, on the Welsh side of the border. Ideal stopping place between Birmingham and the coast!!

Knighton (Powys) farmer's market is also a venue for local players, including our folk-orchestra Bandamania -next concert 23.6.07

Llanfair,

If you want to PM me a contact number and anything else you might want to say, I can add it to the trac website (or you can go there and send a direct message to the site manager).

It's a nice hall. Glad to see this sort of thing getting started up. Weren't you doing the canal boats at one point too?

Fogie....when did the music start? i used to do Knighton farmer's market a couple of years ago, no music then!!

Sian.....I'll be in touch, thanks.

Trevor....We've only just started, so there's only Sue, who plays fiddle, and me, of course. Sue writes great songs, but is a bit shy about performing them. You would be very welcome if you popped in sometime.

Sounds good. I'm at a festival in Devon this weekend but would love to come and have a sing and a twiddle. Is it the kind of thing that if I got a couple of Rapsquillion to come along we could have a bit of a sing?
