Subject: RE: Llandudno and area From: An Croenen Date: 06 Sep 02 - 12:19 PM It's worth checking out if Jonkers have anything lined up while you're there. They are on 9 Chapel street. Tel. 01978 86 11 58. They have a good selection of renowned folk musicians and songwriters (Show of Hands, Boo Hewerdine, to name a few), performances take place in a very intimate room (only 30 people could fit in it I think!) and you have a meal during the interval. Plate on your lap, I found out to my surprise. Nice place. It just gets away with it... And no, I've got nothing to do with the place other than that I've been and enjoyed it. Llangollen is one of my favourite places around here, and I'm sure you'll find plenty to do. You could also go to Chester, Alexander Jazz Theatrein Rufus Court (has website) or Telford Warehouse (has website). Telfords has an open mic night every Sunday night. Not much folk going on though, more songwriters/jazzy/whatever the bands do-stuff. Enjoy your weekend! An |

Subject: RE: Llandudno and area From: An Croenen Date: 06 Sep 02 - 05:31 PM Hi Mr Happy, I only meant to say that there isn't much folk going on in Telfords on a Sunday night. But I can see how the way I've written it wasn't clear. Sorry! All the same, I enjoyed reading your message and learnt from it as well. An |

'there's a story the gypsy told to me,that if your love wears golden earrings he/she belongs to you-oo'&'non,je ne regret rien,non,je ne rgret rien,' ect the whole evening was fabulous, 'myfanwy' sung in cymraig so fervently that a vein on his forehead could be seen standing out & throbbing! not so good next morning,ill!got part way up the hill, so cold,freeezing,blowy winds hi ho!
