From: Willa Hi Jane last year St George's day fell on a Monday, and so the celebration took place as part of the 'Not The White Horse Folk Club''s Monday evening, several of the dancers/musicians being regulars there. Since it falls on a Wednesday this year I think there'll be some 'goings on' as part of 'hissyfit and Friends' at Cottingham Live. Don't think you've paid us a visit yet? |
