Now here is something really special.....



Next Thursday will be SARA GREY's 70th birthday and we will be having a special birthday party night for her at the Royal Oak in Lewes. She will be performing with her son Kieron and there will be a lot of other special guests turning up to join in the celebrations. It is very appropriate that this birthday should be celebrated at our club because we gave Sara her first English folk club booking at our club - a mere 40 years ago.

Please be there! If you really can't make it, please send a card, a letter, a message to be read out to her on the night.

Have a look at http://www.myspace.com/royaloakfolklewes where you can hear a track of Sara playing and singing and a Youtube video Sara & Kieron.
