Good grief, this is like herding cats or knitting fog.
There is endless amounts of Free music out there. Every pub at Sidmouth festival for a start..Midday to Midnight. Songs Tunes, Old time American, traditional, contemporary Even a free dance in the Ford. and a lot of the booked guests often pop in to a session or two for (You guessed it) FREE!
You could spend a whole week there and never pay a penny. A lot of people do!
