Thread Name: 2 Sussex folk clubs cancelled this week
Subject: 2 Sussex folk clubs cancelled this week
Woke up to heavy snow in Lewes and it is still snowing heavily and even the main roads through the town are closed (11am Wednesday) so we have made the decision to cancel tomorrow night's meeting of the Royal Oak club with Rosie Davis, Bob Winquist & Joe Locker. We will be offering them a replacement booking - probably in April - when they have had a chance to select a date.

As I sat down to post this message, I saw an email from Chris Davis from the Wednesday night Arundel folk club. it say:-

Hi everyone,

Just a quick message in haste to all of you on the Willows' e-mail newsletter list to let you know that, due to the severe weather warnings and treacherous conditions, we've taken the decision to CANCEL tonight's Willows gig with Pied Merlin! :(

We're absolutely gutted about this, as have never cancelled a Willows evening before, even when my Dad had a heart attack on a Wednesday afternoon!! But, given the conditions, we don't feel we have any choice. :(

Although I haven't spoken to them in concrete terms, we are hoping to reschedule Pied Merlin's gig to later in the year, and will of course let all of you guys know if and when we're able to do this. :)

Apologies for any disappointment caused, but hopefully you all understand, and I just hope that the weather will have cleared in time for next Wednesday!

Take care, and best wishes,

Chris Davis
The Willows Folk Club
Arundel, West Sussex


Please pass this message on to anyone that you think is liable to want to go to either club this week
