The Dragon Folk Club in Shortwood, near Bristol, UK is holding a charity night for breast cancer care
on 12 April 2013. Please come along if you are in the area.

The evening will feature John Alderslade, who we hope will be supported by The Bristol Shantymen.

Entrance is free and there will be a raffle at the break. Proceeds from the raffle and any other money raised
will go to BUST (the Southmead Hospital Breast Care Unit Support Trust).

With this and other very occasional exceptions, the Dragon Folk Club is a "singers' night" club held
every Friday at The Bridge Inn, Shortwood - everyone is always welcome. For more details and to
keep up with our activities, you can visit our new blog.

- John Alderslade - Songs, stories and jokes. Lots of choruses and chances for audience participation
- The Bristol Shantymen - A popular and well known group performing sea songs and shanties

Since this is my first thread on Mudcat I should probably explain, my
real name is Simon and I am a regular at the Dragon Folk Club.

Before moving to Bristol I was previously to be seen as a small cog on
the Reading folk scene, and before that in an even more minor way in
Portsmouth.

Sorry that my first contribution is essentially an advert; it is
however for a good, charitable cause. I hope I can contribute in other
ways in the future.

don't appologise - we are here to discuss what interests Folkies.

Information is all grist to the mill. When the brickbats fly you will know the advert is gratuitous. Until then, mentioning Folk Clubs is fine by the majority here.

Regards to everyone at the Dragon.

I've had confirmation that the support will be three of the members of
the Bristol Shantymen and the MC will be Kevin Adams. There will be an
opportunity for floor singers.

This is a cause which is very personally close to several of our regulars, so please can all our irregulars, occasionals and total newbies try to get there.

If you can't make it, please send your wallet instead and Mike will mage sure it has a good time, and loses weight into the bargain.

Two days to go. If you're anywhere near Bristol, UK please come, bring all your friends, and spend you money - free entry though!! It should be a great evening.

This charity event is tonight. Come along, bring your friends and spend
your money - after getting in free. It's a friendly session club and we
very rarely have concert nights. There will be a chance for some floor
spots.
