Don't know time or place yet, but Saturday teatime usually works well, so that'd be my guess. Start collecting your chocolate now..... |

13 Sep 07 - 10:22 AM (#2148302) Subject: RE: Bedworth 2007 From: GUEST,Dame leon Giok you're right - i was looking at venues etc for singing and this was all i got... " Bedworth Folk Festival 2007 takes place over the week-end of 23rd - 25th November Town Centre Map Details will appear here soon " for everything. Are there singarounds and folk clubs? if so where? and does one need a ticket to attend these? DL |

13 Sep 07 - 05:38 PM (#2148522) Subject: RE: Bedworth 2007 From: My guru always said As I recall there are lots of singarounds in the local pubs, but it's nearly been a year since the last one so my memory is a bit sketchy!! Folk clubs & Concerts are all ticketed events of course. The Mudgather won't be ticketed as far as I know and we do let Catters come to the Gather even if they don't like chocolate - see how tolerant we are *grin* |
|
13 Sep 07 - 05:54 PM (#2148536) Subject: RE: Bedworth 2007 From: Snuffy There are usually programmed (but unticketed) singarounds and sessions in the Arts Centre coffee bar and the main and small bars of the White Swan. Last year the Black Bank also hosted singarounds. Not sure if you need a ticket for the Rugby Club sings |

08 Oct 07 - 01:10 PM (#2166605) Subject: RE: Bedworth 2007 From: Malc Bedworth Hi all, just a bit of an update! Most things are in place now, Rugby Club caravan parking just about full (if anyone has applied by post would be a good idea to drop me an email too with the current postal situation). Venues much the same as last year, but far more stuff in the Civic Hall - 2 concerts friday evening and all day saturday, plus meets and workshops and of course The Craft Fair and the very special PEEPING TOM CEILIDH celebrating 35 years of Peeping Tom (Poor old bu__ers!). Acoustic Concert and folk club in The Arts Centre also friday evening and all day saturday (plus of course the ledendary "Voices" concert sat evening) Much more at The Rugby Club, friday (including a late "Big Sing" with Johnny Collins & Jim Mageean) and saturday evening (including a special Isambarde & friends session) and all day sunday (breakfast to teatime!) catering and cheap beer all week-end! The two official festival pubs are The White Swan and The Old Black Bank (Mudcat meet late satuday afternoon) - all events at the two pubs are free. As the Conservative Club has a long standing booking for a wedding on Saturday we will only be using it on Sunday this year (concerts and the the final folk club session running from Noon to closing time!) Tickets are going fast, guest list and booking information on the web site www.bedworth-festival.info Please post any other queries here as I'll pop in regularly now, or email me directly at malcg@bedworth-festival.info Thanks for your time Malc. |

My other one was "Martin from Barton" so I need a new one. Plus I took it to Swindon when Luton were playing earlier in the year. Remember the rainy season. It poured down all through the game and the away supporters do not get a roof. We lost the game 2-1 got soaked and a few days later my badge went all rusty. BOOHOO.
