Come on down to Broadstairs, Richard. I will be performing there on August 5th, 6th, & 7th and I'll make sure you like it.

If one could get onto the campsite without having to buy a week's season (or if there was a campsite or caravan site real close), I might. It's the fringe stuff I like best, and in the past I have found the pubs throw you out of the singarounds/sessions at (say) 2.30 pm and 11 pm, on the nail, bong!

I suppose if I left home at 9 on the Saturday morning, I might get to park somewhere within spitting distance, stay sober and drive home at midnight....

Pardon?

Never heard of any of those Richard. Any folk music in there?
Any floor spots?

That's the reason for my horror, Don - it's all electric Westry and C*ntron

Seems strange this, as Mark Lawson tried to run the usual Red Lion Beer and Folk Festival there last year but it was cancelled due to a new landlord taking over, and bowing to pressure from one of the people over the road regarding noise. I wonder if he knows about the music coming back. Very interesting. Could be of course that it wasn't wanted and Mark was given the'Bums rush'

Same thought occurred to me John. Guess we'll never know.

'twould surely be an act of madness by the landlord - look at the amount of beer he sold at teh Lawsonfest - unless of course he makes more selling burgers to cowboys...
