Breezy,

Wheal Dream Folk club (aka St Ives) does book guests, not so many as Bodmin, but we are out in the sticks down here in this part of Cornwall (about an hour and fifteen minutes further S.W than Bodmin). Sara Grey & Kieron Means were there last month and Tony Truscott last Sunday. As far as I know Feague are booked for the 25th June - they are Niall Timmins, Alistair Brown & Hudson Swan (ex Tannahill Weaver). Following that the next guest night isn't until the 13th August when Roland Chadwick is booked.

I'm not sure who you meant by certain 'names' but Niall & Cath Timmins are running the club and among the regulars are Di Franklin, Roger Bryant, Bob Birt (from Rum & Shrub), Alistair Brown (when he's not gigging in Canada), Jon & Jill Ryan, Rose & Martin Roberts, Ray Chub, Hudson Swan, & Roger Strange (an excellent blues singer) and so on and so on.

Perhaps you'll make it this far south-west sometime.

Regards

Marion
