Just wanted to say a BIG thank you to all the musicians, singers, audience and especially any 'catters who came to 'The George Vaults' over the Rochester Sweeps Festival. I had a great time running the sessions, and wasn't the venue fabulous? They knew how to get accoustics back in the 13th,. Century. I for one hope we can have it again next year and do it all over again. Once again a Big thank you.

The sessions will be on Saturday 12:30 to 14:30(ish)- I say 'ish' as you know what sessions are like and there's nothing worse than stopping when it's not needed, but it'll be up to the people who run the bar. Then Saturday evening 20:30 to 23:00. The same on Sunday so it'll be great to see you there. Monday - just the lunchtime session - but then again who knows how long that'll go on. See you there I hope.

Rochester Sweeps is on this weekend. The whole High Street will be alive to the Morris (about 100 or so sides gather there this weekend) plus lots of free folk type music in the pubs - and singaraounds, and sessions. I'm running sessions myself there at 'The George Vaults' in Rochester High Street on Staurday, Sunday and Monday so come along and join in or listen - Great to see some 'Catters there. Ashley Hutchins is there for 'Grandson of Morris On' and I hear that 'Show of Hands' are making a brief appearance

Hastings Jack in the Green Festival from Friday night to Monday. Mostly morris dancing with evening concerts and ceildhs culiminating in a large procession through the Old Town with a display in the castle.

East Sussex, UK


Rochester Sweeps Festival is similar but on a larger scale with the whole of the High Street filled with dancers. COncerts and ceilidhs and most of the town center pubs having live music (not necessarily folks). There are also some events in the cathedral.
