Ooops, I did! :-) It is well worth coming along to and please come and say hello if you are there when we are doing our bit on Sunday afternoon! :-) Please pass on the info to anyone you think may be interested, too :-) |

18 May 13 - 06:58 AM (#3516416) Subject: RE: Cleethorpes Folk & Cider Festival From: GUEST,Merlin's Keep Some further info. Apart from the music, don't forget the Morris Sides, who will be performing all over the resort. They are an integral part of the festival, and certainly a lovely spectacle, adding colour and atmosphere to the whole event. There will be a craft fair on the piazza near to the Light Railway Station, on the Sunday (26th May) and there will also be 2 performances that day (one on the piazza and one at the sandpit by the boating lake) from Birdhouse Theatre, a children's theatre company. There is camping available for anyone wishing to stay over the weekend. Please email merlinskeep@ntlworld.com for info about this. One other thing. We already have the budget set for 2014, which will be the 6th festival, so if anyone is interested, or knows anyone who is interested in being booked, please email at the above address. Particularly looking for new acts to mix in with the returners. And don't forget it's a FREE event. |

28 May 13 - 02:24 PM (#3520108) Subject: RE: Cleethorpes Folk & Cider Festival From: Shoreliner What an excellent weekend. Well done to all who helped put it together. Good farewell singaround on Monday night too. Would have liked a musicians session (or two) as well, perhaps another time. An original way of doing this might be to pick a few of the tune sets off the BBC Radio 2, "Virtual Session" as "Festival Tunes" for the year (http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/r2music/folk/sessions/). That way people who are new to session playing or are perhaps a bit nervous at the prospect of a solo at a singaround would have a chance of learning up a few tunes that they know will definitely be played by the session leadership during the session. Hope this helps, |
