Hello from Plymouth UK, catters,

i never thought of putting this here until someone jogged my memory, but please would someone visit our Hyde Folk site. It's really sort of scrap-booky, so all who like the old Plymouth Devon small time news, please drop in. it's like meeting all the provincial folkies without having to get the drinks in! After the thrill of the club being involved in our first festival, we're all getting excited again at the prospect of the Cornwall, Dartmoor and Grimstone Festivals coming up. Heavens we might even get up a coach trip or something! I LOVE the summer in the English Westcountry!!!!

Cheers Deni from Devon

Derrymacash - you are visited!

Hi Hawker, There is a poster about Grimstone festival. it's an all day festival at Grimstone Manor, Horrabridge Nr Tavistock and runs from midday to 11.00pm, with over eight bands, stalls, workshops, food & drink. They jokingly call it Grimstock, as it's open air and everyone sits around on the grass chilling out etc... I think there's just one giant stage in the grounds with a good sound system. Brilliant bands like Praying for the Rain, Hannah and the Madding Crowd and Nigel Shaw and Carolyn Hillier will appear. Ned and I, as Mad Rush kick off the proceedings at 12noon.

We were asked to do it last year, but chickened out, because Trad folk it ain't, but we play in loads of different syles, and I thought, what the hell. If you can insert the odd almost-trad tune in a set, you sometimes pick up a convert to trad music somewhere along the line. Wish us luck! We have to leave Dartmoor Festival, bomb up to Horrabridge,then bomb back after we've done our bit and seen a few bands. That's if we can drag ourselves away. they've got a real community spirit going and are great people.

Tickets £12.50 on the gate or £10 in advance. (Hope to see you four at Dartmoor. The kids keep asking when we're seeing your kids.)

They've got a poster on Flaxey Green, and one on the South West Gig guide, among others.

Have you looked at the Hyde site? Please drop a note in our guestbook and introduce yourself to the hordes who will be passing that way very soon. It's all sociable stuff...

Update. GIVE FOLK A CHANCE community website.

The Hyde Folk Club site, as described at length above and to which a clicky was constructed by derrymacash, also above, has been placed in the TOP TEN of community sites in the UK. We've had hundreds of hits and as webmistress, (boy that word conjours up certain images!!!)I'm very excited as people who never tried folk music before are contacting us, wanting to listen to some.

I feel an excuse to raise our glasses coming on!

Cheers Deni
