If you read through my reviews in recent Tykes it will probably give you a good idea of the line up. Just need to sort out a few folk friendly pubs - the Pineberry is an obvious one but I will be going on a recce once I am back from holiday. I am hoping that we can demonstrate the positive side of English tradition and culture to conteract the unfortunate political situation in Queensbury where the negative aspect seems to have dominated recently. Hope you can make it - would be grate to see you, Mrs Duck and the Ducklings there! |

I live in Undercliffe and go to the Topic regularly. I am working on this on behalf of Queensbury Comunity Association and we have just secured funding - if you are interested in being involved please send me a pm - you'd be very welcome as we need more people with a knowledge of the folk scene on the Committee |
