A good friend of mine named Doug Hamilton is moving (as of this coming Thursday) from Madison, Wisconson in the United States to Bristol, England. he is a fine singer/songwriter and parodist. Are there any venues around Bristol at which he might have a chance to play? Stephen Lee rich |

From: GUEST I'm sure he'll get lots of advice....the only bit that springs to mind immediately unfolk related is the airport is shut. Temporary runway problems. Tell him to check it out if he has arranged to be met there. He could end up being flown into Cardiff. |

From: Nigel Parsons Every Monday night The Nova Scotia Folk Club I've only been a couple of times as it's a 45 minute drive, and I get charged almost £5.00 to drive back into Wales (The bridge tolls charge nothing to go from Wales to England, but you pay to get back to God's own country!) Their website (link above) gives details of forthcoming guests etc. If he's going there & doesn't wish to go in alone I can probably make an extra trip (preferably on a 'singers' night) CHEERS Nigel |

"Engineers" (probably actually labourers) were up all night cutting grooves in the new tarmac on the runway to allow rainwater to drain off. I suppose they didn't think it would rain in Bristol. S |

08 Jan 07 - 05:59 PM (#1930722) Subject: RE: British Catters, HELP? From: Mr Red look at cresby.com and tell him to webmail me from there, though all I know is on the site. Including maps. The FAB website was down a long time last I looked - they list in Bristol. The Cajun Festival is held in the Folk House (fairly central), Nova Scotia hosts an FC which books artists and DAMN is a house concert and - well see my site then ask questions. I drop in to the Dragon FC occasionally which is a song circle type sssion. I have been to a few music sessions but I am based 26 miles north so do the round here. And I do list a few gigs on an ad hoc basis and will include contact details on a subsidiary page (ad Hoc). If he is into bluegras there is a BIG festival in late summer within commuting distance of Brisel (the way they speak it there). |
