If anyone lives in or near Keswick or the lake district, I have a question about a business there. Please send me a personal message if you are familiar with the area. Thanks.

I don't live there, but my grandfather used to live there; maybe I can help.

You must have longer miles in your part of Manchester Dave!

Do you know of any music in Keswick? I'm going up the first week August. (Sorry to hijack the thread Alice!)

I know it from about 8 years ago, when I worked there for a few month.

Pencil Museum, 'Cars of the Stars' rubbish cinema...

may have changed since then of course

I'll actualy be on the west coast, John - basking in the Sellafield sunshine...;-). Don't know any sessions I'm afraid. 60 Miles is about right (maybe 70?) - remember I'm only 2 miles from the M61 - you have to go a lot further from south of the Ship Canal!

Sorry Alice, couldn't PM as I'm not on my own machine:-(

We have been up to Keswick every Whit for about 12 years and althoough we have never really looked for folk we have seen or heard nothing. Did folkies do something really bad so that the fine people of Keswick banned it forever?

Now what could that have been? Whole nights of the Wild Rover? Barber's Shop as folk? A serious bout of clogs and waistcoats. Death by reels? No, I can think of nothing so evil. But perhaps somebody else can?

I lived there until recently and still live only a few miles away. My daughter is still at Keswick school and I am reasonably familiar with the town. Maybe I can help? Susie
