This is great news!

Who knows, next year I might actually get to go to a session or four, as previously I have been working/dancing the whole time, but this is the good afternoon slot, where everyone seems to float around a bit...or heads back to the camp site to sleep, having not gone to bed until 5am...

yay!

Roll on Folk Week '08

And it's only a few yards from the Methodist Church, where some of the best concerts take place.

Good result, means we can go to pub gigs beforehand if so desired. Wrotham Arms is only a short walk from the seafront, straight up from the craft fair.

Great - I had thought the Wrotham Arms might be the right place to get this going. I think it might actually help that it's just very slightly off the beaten track - it's only a matter of 200 yards at the most from Albion Street. ( Venue Map)

Good idea. Shame it is that little bit further out, but still a good idea.

Some good news for all who contributed to the Broadstairs Folk Week thread this year and asked for there to be an impromptu session in the middle of the afternoon... there now is...
It's going to be at the Wrotham Arms, between 3 pm and whenever we get tired- there will be a chairperson to see fair play and a daily guest who will perform a short set mid-session- and this session is for those of us who like to sing and diddle along with each other, instruments of the acoustic variety and songs of the participatory variety especially.
The name we have for it at the moment is the Woodshed session, after the story that Harry Cox kept the old tunes alive there because his wife preferred it that way... nothing to do with Cold Comfort Farm!

To start things rolling, there's a Woodshed session at the Wrotham Arms on Friday 23rd November, with several of the people who played this year at the Wrotham- so if you're in the area please come along and make yourself known...
Sheps beer and sympathetic management...
What more could we ask?
See you there...
Bob
