"All at Seagrave" - Charity Event.

This is a weekend event which takes place in the "Post Royal Wedding" slot over the Bank Holiday Weekend, Sat April 31st - Mon May 2nd. In aid of the "Rainbows" charity, in the village of Seagrave which is just off the A46 Fosse Way north of Leicester.

Saturday will be "Big Sing" sessions in the White Horse, 12.00 - 2.00 and 6.00 - 11.00 -all free to come along and join in.

Sunday will be a "Big Busk" - in the pub garden if it's fine, inside if not - everyone free to bring instruments and voices along and do a few songs or tunes. 12.00 - 6.00

Monday will be some "folky" bands, that regular attendees at the Folk Night are part of - once again in the garden if weather fine, but outside if not. 12.00 - 5.00.

This should be coinciding with events organised by the Caravan and Camping Club at the Village Hall - the details of this have yet to be confirmed but it looks like there will be a Saturday Night ceilidh and some tune sessions. So there should be something for all tastes.

The whole thing is free but you are asked to donate to the charity. Unfortunately there is no camping unless you are a member of the Caravan and Camping Club.

The regulars at our folk club at the White Horse, Leicestershire have all donated a track to a 16 track compilation that we are selling in aid of Rainbows Childrens Hospice, Loughborough.

The tracks range from trad folk to country with all shades in between. Most are semi pro gigging musicians so the standard is very good.

£6.00 inc p and p to UK - all profits to the charity.

PM me to order a copy. The target is 200 by the end of the year.

The thread started a few years back - it is underused as I'm sure many of us have been involved in charity compilations.
