The Folk Club runs each evening at 8pm at the Arts Centre. The first evening though may be in another venue due to a restriction from a theatrical, non festival event. Will post up news as it comes

Bob - Sent TWO e-mails and had 'em BOTH bounced !! PM sent as back up

A couple of songs per spots arranged in advance
I am taking up to four each night in advance and others on the door in the interest of fairness to those coming at the last minute.
Its really difficult for me to do this in advance stuff as I have for years advocated the first come first served system, irregardless of ability/competence. I firmly believe that all singers have to start somewhere. However I also understand the needs of a paying audience so I would ask please that the floor spots be suitable for the event and be at least in tune/entertaining etc

Also I will need at least an email from prospective spots with their name and what they play etc. Sorry to say I dont always recognise the person by their catter nickname!
Thanks in advace
Bob

Hi Bob
I have sent you an email, showing my interest, and a back-up PM, given Leadfingers' experience.
It sounds as if your Arts Centre Folk Club sessions should go well. Enjoy!

After delay message on E-Mail, I tried to PM you as wiltshirebob, and it told me no members found. Twice!

I am Don Thompson, one of the regular performers at the Bedford Hotel sessions, and I would like a spot on the first Friday, or failing that, the Saturday.

I go out gigging as Wysiwyg, and have guested at several Kent Clubs and also at the Smart festival in Stafford a couple of years back.

My act is humour based, mostly self penned, and quite popular at Sidmouth over the last five years.

If you received my E-Mail, please forgive this post, but I have no way of knowing if you did.

Kind regards
Don Thompson

I've had the same problem as Don T, so I'll ask you from here. I'd love to do a spot during the week. I'm the one who nominally runs the Bedford Sessions during Folk Week and have been a guest at quite a few festivals (Middlewich, Deal, Walton-on-Naze, Solent to name but a few). I'm in Sidmouth from Friday to Friday if it helps.

My email to you bounced aswell, Bob!
But I hope my PM got through? If not, I would be able to do a slot on the Wednesday evening or, failing that, possibly on the last Friday.
BTW I sing a bit, mostly traditional songs & shanties, often with English concertina accompaniment.

PS If you want to discuss this, I'm off to China tomorrow and will be back on Monday 1 August. So I will try to text/call your mobile when I get to Sidmouth.

Guest of 20th July, I can assure you this is a real thread - I was talking to Bob about it at Wiltshire Traditions Folk Club at Devizes on Monday. Bob is obviously checking this thread periodically, so I'm sure he'll put down correct e-mail address within a couple of days. If not, you could always try phoning the mobile number he put on his original message.

MBS Lynne,

Please accept my apologies. Of course I shall be at the Volunteer on Friday.

Another senior moment, I'm afraid (memory overload). I shall try for Saturday or Sunday at the folk club.

I'm being very good and keeping out of this thread so that you can all get on with talking about seriously making music and enjoying yourselves.

I can't get into this fixing up stuff in advance, evn more this strange Sidmouth than most - so I'll hope that on an evening I turn up I'll be able to take advantage of "others on the door in the interest of fairness to those coming at the last minute".    Because I'd love to get a couple of songs in as part of what I suspect will be one of the best things happening this year.
