Subject: RE: Anything else going on in Shropshire? From: Watson Date: 22 Aug 02 - 05:16 AM I spoke to Mike Raven last night - the Market Drayton festival will not happen this year, but he is putting on a one day festival at Loton Park on Sunday 6 October as Rob said. The format will be workshops in the morning, concert in the afternoon and a dance with cabaret in the evening. Guests include Mike Raven (naturally) with Joan Mills, Steve Tilston and John Neilson, Harvey Andrews, Taggart and Wright, Murphy's Marbles, Vital Spark West Gallery Choir, Kicking Alice. The band for the dance will be Skillet. Loton Park is owned by Sir Michael Leighton who is a poet, so we can expect poetry to feature in this event, with Sir Michael himself and Gladys Mary Coles who is president of the Mary Webb society. |

Subject: RE: Anything else going on in Shropshire? From: the lemonade lady Date: 12 Jun 02 - 08:03 PM I'll tell you again here as well in t'other places-I was going to call a halt to the session at The Buffalo in Clun but don't worry! I've just come back from the sesh and have a tale to tell. I suggested to our little throng that maybe we should have a little summer holiday. They were not happy! Apparantly they (5 people) look forward very much to our little song/tunes 'club' every month that it has become the highlight of their month! That's Clun life for you! They build their 2nd Wednesday around it so that their evenings are free. What on earth could I do? I can't stop something they enjoy so much now can I? It doesn't matter that there are only a few of us, if they want to be there and look forward to it who am I to put a stop to it? So if you're in the area 2nd Wednesday of the month, please come to the singaround/tunes session in Clun, Shropshire- It's small and friendly and I love 'em all! Sally |

Sunday the sides take part in the traditional Bishop's Castle Rush Cart bearing from stone house hospital to the Church and then back to the Three Tuns for more dancing and the odd beer or two ! |
Subject: RE: Anything else going on in Shropshire? From: Trevor Date: 22 May 02 - 07:37 AM I was just about to get around to doing this - thanks W. We've also got Bayou Seco at the Bishop's Castle Weekend, helping with a dance workshop, and there are a couple Bayou Seco links, here and here

Subject: RE: Anything else going on in Shropshire? From: Watson Date: 22 May 02 - 05:40 AM ...and I feel like a fraud now because this isn't quite Shropshire, but it's near enough to be of interest: Message from Rees Wesson
Hi Folks We have a one off informal music session next Monday, 27th May. It's at The Kings Head in Guilsfield (2 miles out of Welshpool) - real ale, mad landlord, etc. We're very lucky to have Bayou Seco from New Mexico coming along for the evening. They have spent a lifetime gathering traditional songs and tunes from the Southern States, including some unusual Native American and Spanish material and are well worth seeing. They also have a wicked sense of humour. |
