The date is final. Starting time 9AM on August 2. Set up time 7:30AM and I will buy the coffee.
Roll n Go has generously loaned us a sound system. I am hoping for a second/back up. Let me know if you have any ideas.
Performers: I will be in contact with each of you to confirm your slot, discuss your music choices and eliminate repetition, although I can't imagine that it will be a real problem.
I am thrilled at the line-up. In no particular order:
Barry Finn (half of Finn & Haddie) Micca Patterson Linn Schulz Tom Hall Holly, known as Maeve Jeri Corlew Castlebay (Fred and Julia) Marc Bernier David Jones Captain Kendall Morse Gordon Bok Roll 'n Go David Coffin Peter and Joann Sousa plus fellow ADVENTURERs Glousterman
We will start at 9AM sharp and end with a finale at 3:30. Post festival meal and music at my house for anyone who can make it.
There will be a room at the museum set aside for performers to rest, eat, warm up, cool down, etc. Coffee, breakfast, lunch, beverages will be provided for performers and helpers.
There will be tables for CD sales. I am working on volunteers to organize and man the tables.If you prefer to ship your CDs ahead of time, I will arrange that with you.
There will be a jar passed around to help pay the performers' travel expenses. Admission is free so I expect people will be willing to support us. The money will be divided evenly among the ACTS. A solo performer will get the same as a group.
The Beach to Beacon race which attracts 10,000 spectators, is that morning so I expect a large crowd from about 11 - 2PM. The museum will handle most of the PR but Jacqui and I are planning to do some as well. If you a website, specific info you want included, etc., let us know ASAP.
If parking is going to be an issue, I will have the museum arrange reserved spaces for the performers and a pass of some kind for you to get in.
We have several homes willing to house itinerant musicians. If you are coming from afar, count on a bed and a hot breakfast.
