The thing is, is it possible to come down half way and camp without having to shell out for a week's season ticket? |

Will have to take extra tablets as it looks like I'm gonna be busy dashing about town, trying not to miss anything. I've just learned that our (me & missus) favourite duo Yves & Chris (aka Wild Turkey) have got an extra gig at Wrotham Arms Friday eve, so must cut short first visit to Charles Dickens Upstairs. Must also find supply of Sloe Gin or, in desperation, throat lozenges, to help my voice make it thru the week. AND Vectis's invitation to meet her behind the school! Well, what can I say? |

09 Aug 02 - 06:06 AM (#762460) Subject: RE: BROADSTAIRS (Aug 11-16) ANYONE??? From: The Shambles This was posted in the 'Killed by the PEL system' thread.
For the past ten years I have appeared at Broadstairs Folk Week in a One Man Show at the Windsor Cinema. It is basically a stand up comedy show late at night (11-12.30ish).
There is no bar, there are stewards and all the usual safety features which you would require for a small cinema. My show takes place after a film showing when the film audience has left. It is ticketed in advance and open for sales on the night if there is space. It has around 80 seats or so.
My show was advertised in the programme and it appears that the PEL licensing officer went through the programme crossing out events that he said contravened the licensing laws. These included programmed unaccompanied shanty singers and morris singers in pub singarounds. My show was deemed illegal in his opinion and I understand he sent correspondence to the cinema outlining the penalties for contravening these laws.
The show will in fact take place at Broadstairs Museum - a new arts venue that has applied and been granted the appropriate licence.
Needless to say the opening ten minutes of my act will be directed towards this little Hitler who would serve the public better by removing all the burnt out cars up and down the Thanet Way. Regards Doug Hudson |

17 Aug 02 - 03:43 PM (#767098) Subject: RE: BROADSTAIRS (Aug 11-16) ANYONE??? From: vectis The sad end of yet another Broadstairs. Congrats to all the committee who worked so hard to make this such a good festival this year. I met some 'Catters, played and sung in the dawn on three days of the week and mellowed out at the concert marquee most nights. See you all again next year. But not the officious little twit that made 'three sheets to the wind' into 'two sheets to the wind', made @travelling folk' into a duo and generally made the Doug Hudson move venue. I've popped home to do some washing and then will hit the road again and head for Whitby. |

The weather was bloody awful, it was so hot I had to consume several pints of liquid substances to stave off dehydration. BTW Kay & I loved your coconut dance. |

19 Aug 02 - 01:37 PM (#768004) Subject: Shout out to Broadstairs From: little spiky Can I just say cheers to everyone who made our Broadstairs so completely tan-fastic! (Especially everyone who looked out for us and made our week really easy!) It was the first time we've been, and we had an absolutely brilliant time (even playing a gig in the Barnaby Rudge.. wouldn't say I enjoyed that one as such, but it was certainly an experience, errr!! Call it a learning curve maybe! Ho hum). I feel like I've met some great people, and I hope to see you all again next year! Big Love, Spiky Xx |
