Frittenden Festival - sing, dance and play kicks off with another old fashioned and traditional session in the bar of the Bell & Jorrocks, Frittenden, Kent, starting at 8pm and finishing when it's time for a couple of choruses of Nellie Dean.

There will be serious, sentimental and silly songs, lone and group tunes playing and step-dancing, and there's also likely to be another of our 'classy' cheesy waltz moments.

A respected friend recently described the sessions we have at the B&J as being the best he knows, so don't miss the ones we're organising over this weekend!

During the Saturday there will also be a concert, stepdancing workshops, and a village hall barn dance. I can promise some excellent singing, great playing, outstanding stepdancing and serious fun all round. For details of the festival's hightlights, see http://frittendenfestival.com .

For those who don't know deepest, darkest Kent, Frittenden is a few miles south of Maidstone, and is a legendary place for treacle mines.

Hi Gavin. Haven't seen you in years. Good to know that you are still alive, and organizing a Folk Festival. Are animals allowed?

Can your animals sing or dance? ;-)

The pub has a dog, so I guess you'd be safe on that score, so long as it likes traditional music, old fashioned songs and step dancing to fiddles...

Hi Gav - you obviously didn't look at my link. Whether or not we can sing has been questioned- but we do it anyway. Dancing is definitely out though. We like dogs, even though we are a pair of spotty cats.

Looked at it, but perhaps didn't understand it! ;-)

I should like to try Frittenden again (and get there early to get in) but I will be busy on the 20th preparing for the Lower Coke session on the 21st. But if you want to let your hair down a bit Gavin after your stresses of the Saturday, you would be very welcome at the Nag's Head. Noon till about 5, 6, or 7.

Cheers Richard!

I'm already planning to follow-up with an extended session of lying on the sofa!
