26 May 06 - 09:48 AM (#1747845) Subject: RE: SE England in July? From: Richard Bridge Thanks all - Sharps is not possible to drink and travel and of course a caravan in Regents Park is a no-no. St Albans clashes with the Greyhound (and Crawley). However I did note Bluebell Railway 21/2/3 July in the Folk Diary. Also a Guy Davis gig: he plays a Hagstrom H-22 and I am a Hagstrom nut. |

27 May 06 - 05:43 PM (#1748731) Subject: RE: SE England in July? From: Grab It's end of June rather than July, but there's the Leigh festival. Free, but you'll presumably pay for B&B/camping. No big names either, although at the price (nil) we're not in a position to complain about that... ;-) We might make it if we're not otherwise engaged that weekend. http://www.leighfolkfestival.co.uk Graham. |

27 May 06 - 05:54 PM (#1748740) Subject: RE: SE England in July? From: Richard Bridge No, Simon, I'm not organising a party. Too late now and too much hassle, the garden won't be ready, the pub no longer does that beer hardly anyone came to the last one, and I'm not spending £72 (even at mates rates) on a barrel of beer. Leigh clashes with Knockholt, but thanks for the thought. |
