I'm pretty sure I'll be singing there, though I haven't been named on the guest list yet. Here's the web-site! So, who else will be there? |

And we'll miss the June festival because of another bus pass birthday. Hope we can make it to Alcester for both next year! Kitty |

11 Feb 09 - 06:01 PM (#2564371) Subject: RE: Alcester Winter-Fest, End Feb 09 UK From: Snuffy Nigel & Sally moved on from the Cross Keys some time ago. As the Greig Centre is at the other end of town from the Keys, and all the camping is at the Greig, I should think you might well be the only folkie there if you visit the Cross Keys over the weekend, Roger. |

I think we made a reasonable dent in the ale ... nice to see Guru do a main-stage set (cracking it was!) & well done Marj, Dave & others too numerous .. without whom .. etc. Cya all in June ... |

02 Mar 09 - 08:15 AM (#2579183) Subject: RE: Alcester Winter-Fest, End Feb 09 UK From: Moses Had a lovely weekend. Weather, singing and company - all superb. Great set from Hils on Friday and from Les on Saturday (lots of 'sparkle'). Sorry to have missed His Worship & the Pig but I needed an early night and left just after 4.30pm and so was home in time to be awake when I unpacked:o) Thanks to all who worked so hard to make it possible. Looking forward to June |

Nearly back to normal (me, normal?) now apart from neckache & send thanks for concern of friends at Alcester. Well done to Marje & Dave & all the organisers & helpers for a grand, well-run weekend! Really enjoyed getting to sing on stage 'proper-like' despite being a novice with microphones & monitors & stuff like that! Many thanks for your kind words DD & Christine - cheques in post or would you prefer cheap RBS shares? Looking forward to the Summerfest where we'll be having a MudGather..... |
