Negative Sue.

You are about to be added to the list, as will anyone who contacts through FB.

I set up the E-Mail especially for the Cat and it is disposable after the event.

So folks Tone Deaf Leopard will attend on Saturday. Be afraid.....be very.......Oh, what the heck.

Actually they are very clever in a sometimes Les Dawson kind of way, and only occasionally carnivorous.

Let me know nearer the time when you will be there Hils, and I'll firm up an open mike spot for you.

I'm looking to keep the spots decently long, so plan on a half hour set.

I've got you pencilled in as a definite maybe.

Many thanks for your kind words, Sue! I thoroughly enjoyed the evening at Crayside, you got a fair bit of talent involved there, just wish I hadn't had to leave so early.

Any other takers.

Just to dispel any misconceptions, in spite of the garden of sounds tag, the whole event is indoors.

There may well be a firepit blazing in the back patio/garden area, to warm those who need regular smog breaks.

Well actually it's rather like a huge steel drum head with a fire blazing away in it, roughly three feet off the ground.

When it's well alight you can't stand much closer than about six feet.

I'm sure it will be a great weekend... so in the meantime, to anyone already in the area I might say "vigo anywhere else when you can go there?" (ouch!)

Would you get back to me and confirm whether you would be up for a half hour or more on Sunday 2nd, or hosting the singaround on Saturday 1st with a headline spot at 4pm (about an hour), or perhaps both?

You will guess from this that quality trumps quantity.

From: Don(Wyziwyg)T
Date: 14 Nov 12 - 08:11 PM

I am waiting for several confirmations, following which I can publish a full update.

I still have lots of free spots on Saturday, and unless a good few of them are taken up, we'll likely end up with an afternoon singaround, followed by Ty and Aysha Watling and RTB and the Strangers entertaining in the evening.

Sunday is not quite complete, but the following is what we have so far:

SUNDAY:   NOON – 10.30 pm

Noon – 1.00 pm

1.00 pm – 1.30 pm

1.30 pm – 2.00 pm

2.00 pm – 2.30 pm

2.30 pm – 3.00 pm:       Allan Richardson

3.00 pm –3.30 pm       "No Worries"

3.30 pm – 4.00 pm

4.00 pm – 4.30 pm       Norman "Brooksie" Brooks

4.30 pm – 5.00 pm

5.00 pm – 6.30 pm        GUESTS:        SIMON & VICKY

6.30 pm – 8.00 pm Interval for nosh etc.

8.00 pm – 10.30 pm Survivors mixed singaround/session.

"Border Crossing" are taking up one of the vacant slots, I believe either 3.30 or 4.30

And there's room for yorself Hils, if you want to take the other, or if you prefer one of the earlier spots Noon through till 2.00 there's a choice of four.

If however you are coming on Saturday you can at the moment have any slot you choose or join the singaround if that's how it ends up.

Hope this makes some kind of sense.

Susan luv, I've been waiting for you to confirm which day you were coming.

Hils just beat you to that swap spot, but of course there's room for carnivores.

The latest spot still free is 2.00 - 2.30 and I'll keep that free till I hear from you. I've pencilled you in for that spot and I'll probably see you at Lower Stoat on Sunday.

Please ignore that message.

It came from my deleting old posts and updating the layout. The festival is going ahead.

Unfortunately Ty & Aysha Watling have had to pull out, and I'll be discussing alternatives with the hosts.

Other than that, everythingis exactly as planned.

Typical Facebook going off half cocked and getting everything wrong.

Now I have to make sure I contact everybody involved to put it right.

Thanks Don. I got a bit muddled, and thought that you were allocating spots yourself. Normally, anything to do with spots should be also to do with leopards. So can we claim that 2 - 2.30 Sunday spot.?
The male of the species is in his own den at present, but I expect to see him soon. Will discuss the prospect of playing on Saturday as well, as you need some help.

Hartley Morris Men are performing in Wrotham from 1 - 4pm on Saturday for the Christmas Lights. We would be very happy to come up to The Vigo afterwards to dance, do our Mummers play, sing or do all or some of those if there is a slot from 4pm onwards.
Phil Burkin will be with us and is also happy to do a solo spot if required.

Hi folks,

The spot originally intended for Ty & Aysha has been re-allocated by Andy to "Eggibread + 1" from 6.00 pm to 8.00 pm.

This leaves room for Hartley Morris and my good friend Phil to take the period between 4.30 pm and 6.00 pm in whatever proportion you prefer.

I look forward to seeing you soon after 4 pm.

You will add greatly to the Folk & Ale.

Thank you for volunteering.
