10 Mar 04 - 05:26 AM (#1132831) Subject: What UK events are there over Easter ? From: Dave Bryant I've already checked on the FolkRoots Festival Site so I know about Gasport & Fareham, Burnley, Lancaster, Poynton, Stroud, & Wigan events. Is there anything else on over Easter, reasonably near the SE, that would attract a couple of trad-ish singers who enjoy pub singarounds/sessions etc rather than more concert style events ? |

I've found nothing to suggest to those looking for stuff around London other than to help me move house which will certainly be musical but perhaps not quite what they had in mind... |

Priest Weston (Shrops) is always Easter, and Miskin (nr Cardiff) is usually Easter, try the links/phone num on my site for better info. More of your session/singist events. We have a modest Ceilidh at Randwick VH on the Easter Monday in Stroud. See dance dates. |

10 Mar 04 - 07:01 AM (#1132879) Subject: RE: What UK events are there over Easter ? From: Dave Bryant Yes we have been thinking about Miskin, it's just that as Linda has a 15 year old son (who would not be seen dead at a FF these days), we would prefer not to travel too far from SE London. We have a small caravan and would need a site somewhere near. |

15 Mar 04 - 08:21 AM (#1136879) Subject: RE: What UK events are there over Easter ? From: RoyH (Burl) I'm on the bill at Lancaster Maritime this Easter but if I was not I'd aim for either Miskin(near home), or Barnsley, which sounds very tempting. Another good reason for being there is the presence of Benny Graham from Co. Durham. I've been saying for years that Benny is one of the best singers in the whole of Britain and after hearing him just a few weeks ago I think he's never sounded better. He is not fashionable, does not get hyped, is consistently underrated, but there are few as good, let alone better. Well done Barnsley for having him on your do. Have a great time. Burl |
