the ceilidh don't forget the ceilidh. If I can make it I will. Stewarding - hmmm - tempting.

Thanks Connie! We'll do our best - it's a bit scary oranising your first festie, but invigorating too. The people at Bromyard have been really supportive, and we've had advice from Priddy too. Aren't people nice?

Speaking of which Mr Red, I'll email you a copy of the draft programme anyway, but the ceilidh is on Saturday evening with the Bordewey Young Band, Lynne Barker (and possibly some guests) calling.

Just counted up, and we really do need EIGHT more stewards minimum - the young farmers are all ready to help but we need more people from the folk world too. Please, everybody, consider stewarding - all stewards get at least one session in a concert or other event, so it's not just car parks and toilets!

Oh, and hello to anybody who remembers me from the old C# House days in the sixties and from Radio Solent in the seventies - just had some facebook contact which took me back a good few years!
