Working overseas I have to plan my festival attendence well in advance, at present I am looking at events in the city Of Lincoln. I know that they have a regular folk festival, usualy early in the year but can find no referance to this years event on any list that I know of such as Folkroots, folking.com or freefolk.

FRoots (son of Folk Roots) publish a list at: http://www.froots.demon.co.uk/festivals/ but the 2001 list doesn't appear there until next month.

Lincoln is within travelling distance of Stamford Arts Centre which usually has an excellent Folk/Roots music programme.

I wonder if the Spilsby Theater in Spilsby, Lincs. is still having regular music. Great place, last few times I was there.

These two sites will tell you almost everything you want to know about music in Lincolnshire. Spilsby does have lots of folk music, so does Grimsby, Stamford, Spalding and Gainsborough - a veritable feast.

Sooze 8 jolly Brewers - when it clicks over to the 9 jolly Brewers I guess. I used to have a billet in Beverley but it involved a little lady who is no longer involved! Same goes for the Beverley FF. Shame 'cos that was a good festival too, and it is even better when you have a proper bed to sleep in. However never say never, the lure of the Cider House in Brandee Wharf is mighty strong.

I suppose the number of brewers you are seeing is directionaly proportional to the quantity of brew consumed.

the confusion is more subtitle than that. Ale is "brewed" and cider is "milled" and as an exclusively ciderhead (allow perry in that) I guess the beer doesn't count. Can we agree they are Jolly? discuss........
