Thanks for the plug Kitty!Pearl and I are doing our usual gigs at Chippers this year, namely the Folk Club Friday and Saturday Nights at the Cause (a new venue that Bob Berry has been raving about) and the Essential Sing at the Rose and Crown every lunchtime starting at 12.00 - get there early if you want a seat (but leave one for me and Pearl, please)
We usually try to fit in a Shanty and Sea Song Sing on the Monday.
We have been at the Rose and Crown for three or four years now - The 'Bear' closed for refurbishment that previous year and hasn't been used as a festival venue since.
Still, I reckon the 'Rose and Crown' is a better venue
All the best and safe journeys there whatever venues you're going to and if you come to ours, come and introduce yourselves
Tony and Pearl
