Get "paid" in beer to sing/play at a beer festival. Rotten job but someone has to do it… Sat 28th August
A friend of mine was having a quiet beer in the Little Gem in Aylesford (Kent, near Maidstone, banks of the lovely/smelly (delete to taste) river Medway when the landlady started telling him about her forthcoming beer festival on the bank holiday weekend. Beers include Goachers IPA, Marsden Pedigree, Ruddle's County, Wadworth's 1744, Titanic White, Cornish Knocker, White Star, Tanglefoot, Fiddler's Elbow, Everards Old Original, Black Sheep Special, York IPA, Coppernob, Exmoor Gold, Crop Circle, Archer's Best, and Sandy Hunters, according to my telephone notes.
Anyway my friend who tends not to be shy says "It'd be nice to have some folk singing then" and she says "yes" so then he phones me.
Folk singers and players are promised some free beer (not sure how much). So I will be there at 11 am on the Saturday morning. The beer festival lasts the whole weekend if the beer holds out.
There are some B+Bs in the village and there may be room to pitch a tent at the community centre in the village but do your own research.
Dave and Linda I am told to tell you they would love to see you again.
