Ralph McTell is there plus plus many others. I'll be running the session in The Gordon Hotel (home of the Beer Festival) as usual. Saturday 30th April nominally 12:30 to 14:30 (but it never stops then) and 20:30 to 23:00 (it does stop then 'ish). Sunday 1st. May 1st nominally 12:30 to 14:30 (but it never stops then) and 20:00 to 22:30 and Monday 2nd nominally 12:30 to probably 16:00, but that's not guaranteed.
For those who haven't been it's the biggest gathering of Morris Dancers there is - or so I'm lead to believe. All making mayhem up and down Rochester High Street so if you've never been before give it a try. I'm pretty sure there's free camping at the Fort Pitt Grammar School, but please don't quote me. Quite a lot of the entertainment is free too.
