This week-end 15th June is the Singleton Cloggers Day of Dance and Folk Music at Poulton-le-Fylde, Lancashire, England - just a stone throw from Blackpool of Tower fame!
What's planned
Morris dancing in the square (10.30-16.00)from Singleton Cloggers (North West Morris), Fiddle 'n' Feet (WOW), and Ossy Cloggers (Step Dance Team have to be seen to be believed!)
Folk - Open Mic session in the Old Town Hall pub (11.00 to 18.00)- everyone welcome....
Craft fair in the Masonic Hall (10.30-17.00) clog making, Glass engraving, T-Shirt Prints and more.....
Evening Concert (19.30-23.00) Old Town Hall Pub with Scuttlebugs (Irish) Jessical Lyons, Alan Bell, Tinkers Cuss, Emily Riley, Penny Black (Comedy Folk - not a female singer!) and maybe even more....
Everything is FREE and everyone is welcome to come along and join in The Jubilee Fun.
Now the bad news..... if England loses tomorrow (Wednesday) - they'll be playing on Saturday at 12.30! - and every pub will be turning over to Football!!!! - unlike us gentle sober folkies these supporters tend to get drunk and cause problems....... so everyone "will" England to win and come along on Saturday to prove traditional music and dance is far more important!!!
If you're off to the Liverpool Maritime Festival instead that's OK..........
