Can't seem to find any accurate links to sites listing folk music venues/events in North Cornwall! going to be around Bude early-mid May - any ideas?

cresby.com links to Folknews Kernow which was THE listing site for Cornwall.

Looks to be a year out of date and no lists.

a links page you might find rewarding click one of the links it has what you want. But there are others.

Failing that I can put you in touch with Heather Dale - a Canadian who comes over every year and specialises in Cornish Songs and festivals in Cornwall. She might know.

You should pm Hawker - if anyone knows, she will!

If you are here on 9/10/11 May you could come down to the Fox and Hounds at Bridestowe north of Tavistock and south of Sourton Down. We have a weekend of singing in the skittle alley of the pub. They have their own campsite, if you want to camp indoors they have a bunkhouse and if you are feeling really rich they have pub rooms as well. Check out the Fox and Hounds Weekend threads. It was the Mudcat song and Ale of the Year last Year. pm me for more details. Where in N Cornwall are you going to be and do you have transport?

Thanks for that. I'm staying over near Bude, and was hoping to find stuff very local to there that I could just drop into at whim, don't really want to drive about or plan too much. However, it's possible I might be driving home that way on the Saturday night, if it fits in timewise I might come by.

And if anyone knows of any good music venues (not just folk) along the N.Cornwall coast, do let me know.

Hi Gorgeous Sue.

Try this:Bodmin Folk Club/ Links/Folk Kernow News/Page Nr.6

Some very good sessions/clubs.

Though living in Norway I've been to most of these.

Can recommend The Wellington/Boscastle on Wednesdays.

Bodmin Folk Club on Fridays and Wheal Dream/Wendron/Nr.Helston on Sundays

Wish you good hunting.

I won't be in Corwall till the end of the month.

Sue, Fox and Hounds is so very laid back that you can just drop in any time over the weekend. You will be made very welcome.
