31 Jan 12 - 01:36 PM (#3299750) Subject: RE: UK festival year planner 2012 (South) From: Richard Bridge Thank you banjoman, you may or may not be right. Are there any different folk (song)sessions planned the coming year, not at the Crown and Anchor? I had a very nice evening one year in the Elephant but I see the landlord is in trouble - http://www.thisiskent.co.uk/Landlord-Faversham-s-Elephant-pub-faces-prison/story-15051933-detail/story.html Thank you Vic, I have had a look at that site. What is the camping situation and what is the (song)session situation? I can't see any info about those on the website. |

02 Feb 12 - 07:13 AM (#3300747) Subject: RE: UK festival year planner 2012 (South) From: GUEST,FloraG Faversham is being run by a volunteers committee. The short sighted council won't even do the risk assesment and bear liability for health and safety, despite how much revenue the festival brings to the town. The web site is done when the committee get round to it, I know they are working really hard to keep the festival going. The Bull hosted PM sessions last year, and Dead Horse did the lunchtime slot. Not large numbers but a nice variety of quality players and singers. The usual excellent Crown and Anchor session was drowned out a bit on the Friday night by some musos turning up late and playing over loudly in an adjacent room. Odd that, folk people are usually so considerate. I think they must have realised as they went elsewhere on the Saturday night, but I don't know where. There are lots of pubs in the Town. FloraG |

Any news on the Elephant? Vic, are you there re: Lewes? |
