Subject: RE: The Beverley folk festival FRINGE
Glad it all went well. We missed the Sun sessions as that is where we usually ended up, or we adjourned to the Oddfellows for a smaller gathering. Certainly when we talked to Derek yesterday he said the Fringe sessions on Saturday were as good as ever, and the showcase went down well. We actually enjoy mixed pub sessions that are open to all, though the Sun can get very noisy especially on Saturday nights. Fully appreciate they can be difficult to manage. We ran a five hour mixed session on Saturday night at Bamfest a couple of weeks ago. Some of the musicians and singers stayed the distance but most left when the boxing came on the big screen TV with the sound off, the landlord was very accommodating and didn't ask us to stop for the match. Those of us left ended up entertaining a wedding reception that had emptied into the pub for about an hour and a half. Main thing is we would do it all again!
