Friday 29th April is the day of the Royal Wedding and to celebrate this, Rochester Sweeps Festival has a special competition - Songs of Love, Royalty and Weddings.

You can register for a ten minute spot to perform an original or traditional song in the spirit of the occasion.

A panel of three judges will select the best performer in their opinion who will win a prize of a night for two in the honeymoon suite, a romantic dinner for two and a bottle of champagne at the Gordon Hotel.

It will be in the Gordon House Hotel Marquee between 7-11pm on Friday 29th April and PA will be provided. The ten minute spot must include set up time, tuning, intro and the piece to be judged.

And I will add that Doug's 60s/70s folk band Tundra was well thought of and wrote a number of songs that were strongly redolent of the tradition. Now of course he plays with the Hot Rats.

Show us what you're made of!
