[Free DIY Music & Song Sessions Event]

All welcome!

*******************

The 7th glorious year's grand venture in wild Wales presented by Mr Happy enterprises will be taking place once again this Easter in Anglesey, North Wales.

At Easter, Mr Happy & the Gloom Band [from Chester] plus many other musical friends, will be off to the Bull Bay Hotel, Bull Bay, Nr. Amlwch, Anglesey for our annual singing & music event –




Once more onto the beach, dear friends!!

It'll be on from Maundy Thursday 24th until Tuesday 29th March 2016

It's set up just like a folk festival but without any concerts or stuff you have to pay for.

Also 'cause everything's on site, there's no need to wander the streets looking for a session.

Bull Bay Hotel's a large venue which can offer up to 4 separate rooms/ areas for different sorts of seshes – singarounds, folk club, mad Irish diddly thrash, seriously non-smiling English music, dreary French tunes, Old Timey/ Bluegrass, maudlin unaccompanied dirges, etc

[I've tried to cater for all tastes as far as possible & over the last several years of running the event, this has worked out well]

(Mr Happy blowing own trumpet – please forgive!)

All welcome - come on down - it'll be brill!!

The campsite will be available from Thursday 24th March – Tuesday 29th March 2016

It's a DIY do- bring yourselves, voices, instruments ,your tents, vans, caravans & kitchen sink!

It's all FREE!!

Weekend Workshops

Every morning around dawn

+/- 50m dash to facilities block, followed by hopping up & down with both legs tightly clenched while waiting for the sitting tenant to emerge.

+/- 50m dash back to tent, having forgotten to bring paper [to read!]

+/- 50m dash back to facilities block, followed by hopping up & down with both legs tightly clenched while waiting for the sitting tenant to emerge.

This year, you may alleviate some of the strain via utilisation of entrance wall to sit on while waiting & take your mind off pressing concerns by gazing out to sea over the panoramic views of the bay!

Anyone have other suggestions for extramural activities, workshops etc?
