Thought you were being adventurous and going to Whitehorse, Yukon but I see it is White Horse, Grove Wantage, Oxfordshire - wherever the hell that is.

I go every year and wouldn't miss it. We always have a great time. The sing in the Bell is usually terrific.

I have always been very happy with the line up at The White Horse Festival. There have been some very interesting guests, and it seems to get better every year. What I like most tho is that it is a very friendly festival with a great atmosphere.

I personally will probably steer clear of the guitar workshop ! I can get depressed enough just watching people play at sessions !!

I'll also miss the guitar workshop but am really looking forward to the festival, haven't been for about 6 years but hoping to meet up with some old and perhpas not so old friends! My only 'beef' with the weekend was that they didn't schedule a singaround on the Saturday Evening, so we ended up starting one, I think that was in the Bell.

We wouldn't miss it for anything, the atmosphere is just too good to miss.

Hi Carol, Glad to hear / read that you will be with us.
Bell won't "allow" a singaround on a Sat. night so as not to upset the regulars, so when one starts it is allowed to continue, she wants the beer sales but also to say to the regs. "I said no, but they just do it" seems to work for both parties.

From: Mr Red

Carol -

try cresby.com & more specifically and tell Mr Red if you find any sessions still current. He will be there on the Fri all being well and you will spot him by the colour of his caravan.

Wallingford is 3rd Tues (as it happens that is today) but my info is from 12 months ago - but ring and you may find it is still on.

Long Wittenham SAR and Exeter Hall Cowley Rd Wed, again check if going a long way.

And there are several things on Thur that could very well be still going like the Red Lion in Blewberry nr Didcot.

Best of luck.

She is Linda Benton. She and her husband (Geoff on mandolin/guitar) are frequently at sessions in and around the Long Wittenham/Wallingford area. She also has some connection with a ceilidh band - either the Mad Hatters or Tumbledown Dick, can't be sure which one just now.

It was great sesh on Friday; though I was not exactly popular when I got home about two hours late!

Crucible - fab.
