Hi everyone,

Sounds of Folk celebrates it's 10th Birthday in May - we kept the title and theme tune all these years, even though we've been with 3 different stations, currently Oldham Community Radio, which covers the whole of Greater Manchester.
So on Sunday, May 20th we're holding a birthday party - complete with birthday cake - at Greenfield Conservative Club in Greenfield, Saddleworth, starting at 7.30. Bernard will be providing the Sound, and I'll be MCing.
All of the artists - who include Pete Abbott, Mark Dowding, Duncan McFarlane and Anne Brivonese, Keith Kendrick & Sylvia Needham, Sid, Nine Tenths Below, 2/3 of the original Th'Antiques Roadshow, Zoe Mulford, Geoff Miller, Pete Coe, John Howarth, Hometowners - and loads more!
The concert is non fund-raising, but we're charging £5 on the door so that we can buy artists a drink. From the door charge and th sale of raffle tickets we hope to raise money for 2 charities (Oldham Community Radio, plus one which will be chosen by a member of the audience).

I'd really love to see many of you there - motorhomes are welcome in the large car park behind the club, so you're OK to stay overnight - and I want to finish the evening with a huge singaround / celebration.

If you want more info, please call me on 07923 007769, and I'll make sure you get in OK. Actually, my daughter and grandson will be on the door, so you shouldn't have a problem.

PLease come along ad support us - so many folk programmes are going by the wayside, so it's lovely to know one which is flourishing!
Ali xx
