I'm still trying to work out how my weekend will run. Monday afternoon was looking like a possibility but all the votes have yet to be counted ...

How do you tune a quorum?

Do you think we should have a Mudgather there? We seem to have a quorum.

Myself and the Dame will be there again - uninterrupted by other gigs this year. Monday afternoon in the marquee is our main spot, but we'll be all over the sessions like a rash.
If you're going there from the east, take a detour via the village of Rosebush and have a pint in the remarkable Tafarn Sinc (Zinc Tavern).

Go there folks, and enjoy splendid singing by Mainbrace. Fine voices and repertoire, and a no-nonsense approach to performing that gives audiences huge value for their money. Don't miss 'em.

The orgainisers have been most remiss in advertising this excellent little festival ;-)
It's being held this Bank Holiday weekend in and around the picturesque Pembrokeshire town of Fishguard. Being so far west, it's nearer Ireland than London, and so has a strong Irish flavour.
This year's festival has sessions, singarounds, dances and concerts galore, including appearances by Kevin Dempsey, Néillidh and Fiachra Mulligan, Vicki Swan & Jonny Dyer, Nick Wyke & Becki Driscoll, the legendary Sue Harris and many more.
Details can be found here. The song sessions in the fabulously unspoiled Ship Inn in Lower Town are worth the trip alone.
