Hi there,

It's Kev from Bishop Gundulf's Morris. ALSO, it's Kev from Brandywine Music (click HERE)

Brandywine Music (Me and my two colleagues) are music promoters. We promote live music events (all styles and genres) in and around Kent and are looking to expand in the New Year.

As part of our expansion, we are holding our "Grand Day Out" event on Saturday 12th February 2011. It is a Charity event – any collected monies go towards The Stag Theatre's fund for a new PA system/Help for Heroes/and a Local Hospice.

We have four Rock Bands in The Stag Theatre during the afternoon (The Diarys, The Outcast Band, The Geoff Everett Band, and Blackwater). We have seven folk/acoustic bands in The Plaza (underneath the main theatre in the afternoon) - (Ty Watling & Ayisha, No Worries, Skinners Rats, Hot Rats, Don Thompson and Ty & Ayisha again). A beer festival. A wine tasting afternoon . Street entertainers. Fire juggling. A chance to Fire Walk. Over ten Morris Dancing sides have been invited (two have confirmed at present, but WE WILL HAVE MORE!!!)

ALL OF THIS IS FREEE!!!!

There are two pubs of special note in the town (five pubs in total) - The Chequers and The Anchor - both would be VERY welcoming of any folkies that wanted to start/run a session for all/some of the day/evening!!!

Contributions in the collecting bucket will be greatly appreciated. PLUS! PLUS!!!

PLUS, PLUS, in the evening, at £20 per ticket, we have THE BLOCKHEADS as in, Ian Dury and The Blockheads!!!!

You could "mix'n'match" - you could do a bit of singinging/playing - watch a bit of the numerous Morris Dancing sides (and break dancing group) - watch and listen to some or all of the FREE live music - visit the beer festival AND then catch The Blockheads in the evening!!!
