11 May 02 - 07:01 AM (#708743) Subject: Folk On The Pier (Cromer) From: Jon Freeman Short notice again but in case anyone is around North Norfolk this weekend... It is the 4th Folk On The Pier Weekend in Cromer this weekend. There are usually bits and pieces going on in pubs in the town and in the beer tent (Woodefords ales) on the pier as well as acts in the theatre on the pier. I think Show of Hands are the top name this year. More details can be found at http://www.north-norfolk.gov.uk/leisure/folkonthepier/ Jon |

I've been twice & enjoyed it both times. There's a nice campsite at West Runton, a couple of miles inland. Hilary |

The nearest folk event to Cromer that I know of is one in the Burlington Hotel, Sherringham on the second Wednesday of the month. It mostly a sing aroud but the do have the odd instrumental too. I've not been in a while (I tend to make my weekly "fix" an Irish instrumental session in Norwich) but it's a very friendly place. Went into the White Horse yesterday and bumped into Morticia and Gomez which was a nice surprise. Jon |

They were just great, so hope you've all had a good time at Cromer (it's 19.05, so you're probably in pub as I write...) Pete
