Hi all

Folk Weekend Oxford has arranged a fantastic Auction of Promises to raise money for Folk Weekend 2012.

There are lots of amazing promises from well-known folkies, including Sunday dinner with two of the Demon Barbers, a mushroom foraging trip with a member of Bellowhead, gig tickets for Belshazzar's feast and Mawkin, and two tickets to Bristol Folk Festival 2012. There are *lots* of offers of instrument lessons from awesome people such as Paul Sartin, Pete Flood, Dave Delarre and Will Pound, and a special all-star ceilidh band who will do a whole gig just for you! 'Money can't (usually) buy' lots include a pre-release copy of O'Hooley and Tidow's latest album, a Steamchicken promotional EP which is not available to the public, and having a four course dinner cooked for you and seven friends in your own home by a well-known dance caller and historian!

You can bid individually or club together with a group of friends for even more chance of winning.

Bidding opens on Monday 14th November, and closes on Monday 12th December.

The most recently added lot is a personal telling of the Beowulf story, given by Tom Goodale. This is going to be rather interesting!

The auction closes tomorrow, but there's still just over a day in which to place your bids. I've got all my Christmas presents sorted now, at least :-)
