Will be busy on the Sat., are there any folky things on the Fri or Sun? And does anyone know what sort of road conditions I can expect on the M6 if I decide to travel up on the Sat morning (to arrive for 3)? |

If we missed all the busy spots with two short stops to change drivers etc. Thelwell Viaduct is now OK most time other than rush hours. The Blackpool turn off could be busy early if the weather is good. Same goes for around the Lakes/Kendal/Keswick sections. take care if you are on the bit where the M6 becomes A74 two lanes of madness! Have fun! |

June 3rd is a singers night, no guest artist that week, just a few floor singers like my humble self & an excellent panel of residents. We also have a myspace site, where you can hear a couple of sound clips including one of Kevin Littlewood singing "On Morecambe Bay" see threads http://www.mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=101407&messages=19 http://www.mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=101353&messages=16 Just turn off the M6 at Preston to Southport. There are details of how to find the club on the website Bothy Folk Club & getting home to Cheshire just follow the coast to Liverpool & through the tunnel & you're in Cheshire. If you need aany details you can PM me. Maybe see you. Cheers Les |
