Hi folks,

As part of our preparations for Hartlepool Tall Ships 7-10 August, we're holding a free Headland Folk Day on Saturday 15th May to coincide with the Pot House Folk Club (now at the Cosmopolitan Hotel) on Friday 14th.

Our special guest for the weekend is Graeme Knights.

For accommodation, the Cosmopolitan Hotel do very reasonably priced B&B (01429 274347) and I'm trying to sort out some secure van space at the Victoria Arms though people regularly park vans along the sea front or in the large car park down from St Hilda's for the folk club and have not had any problems.

I know this clashes with a few things that weekend but it was the only time we could really go for

Cheers

Sean
