Old Farm Inn weekend 7/8 th August



This year we are holding the 'OFI Music Fest' during August 2010 when a variety of musicians will be gathering for a weekend in the pub garden/marquee, creating what will be a unique 2 day festival of music.

Folk and contemporay music weekend...something for everyone with many talented musicians. Afternoons and early evenings in garden/marquee and later inside the pub



If you would like to know anything specific, you could PM JohnD or ask here.



Here's a bit more from fb

The music will be varied, Sessions, Tunes, Singer/songwriters, Jazz, Blues, Folk, Bluegrass, Big Band(tbc), Rock Chorus. A small PA and performance area will be set up for soloists if required.

***If you wish to perform yourself, please contact John Stevens - email address below, spaces are filling rapidly<<<<<<<

We hope to start Saturday lunchtime with performance 'slots' taking us up to some bands playing until 11:30 before retiring to the pub for a 'Big Sing'. Sunday morning, after drowning out the church choir, we may put on some musical workshops but will then have performances by local artists before a finale of Big Band/Rock Chorus (to be confirmed).

Extra Real Ales, Cider and Food will be available all weekend.

BBQ -Saturday and Sunday! (OFI Burgers and OFI Vegi Burgers)

I'll definately be there with Stiffy & his exposed knees and others from the Globe Session, we're both playing a set each on the Saturday and by the look of the line-up it should be good - the sessions interspersed amongst acts should be a great laugh and a good way of seeing people play and join in too.
looking forward to it!
so there is camping is there?
