I understand Mike Raven has organised another festival in Market Drayton on October 19 and 20 after the success of last years. The highlight was a free concert with KIRBY HEATH and TAGGART AND WRIGHT and oh damn forgot their name. An oldie English group playing hurdy gurdies (3 or 4) and in period dress. Have a look on Mike Raven web page for info on this years extravaganza.

There are several great pups in Market Drayton. Worthwhile going just for the beer.

refresh,

if you view mike's page[freefolk.com]-you'll understand his grief over the passing of one of his best friends,Bruno.

anyone can become most attached to another & when they go it can be really hard to bear.

however, harvey a's news looks hopeful- harvey & others please keep us informed.

cheers,

mr h
