Hi all

We want to let you know about a fantastic event that's taking place at the Star Inn in St Mary's in the Marsh on the Romney marsh in kent, on Saturday and Sunday 21st and 22nd of July.

There will be a two day music festival and village fair happening on those days in aid of Demelza house and the St Mary's village hall fund. All proceeds will be split between these two charities.

As well as the usual village fair stalls, crockery smashing, photographic exhibition, etc over 20 stalls in all, there will be lots of live music over the weekend.

On both days there will be open stages, both amplified and acoustic for anyone who would like to come along and do a turn and on the Saturday evening there will be a concert. On the Saturday evening we have got Alison and Michelle, a versatile female duo, Paul Sirman, a wonderful folk singer, Ron Trueman-Boarder, singer/songwriter and the Starlings, a Beatles tribute act. All these artists are giving their time for free in aid of the charities.
Over the weekend we have many local artist's appearing such as:
John Chapman, Keith Meredith, The Rambling Boys, The Buckthorn Band, Ravenhill, Happy Trails, Chris from Prochswing blue's, The Travelling Folk, a Morris troop, Fred and Graeme, Steve Symons and Tim, Nick and Jean.

This is the first Marsh Festival and, hopefully, if it is a success, not the last.
