Thanks Colin

For anyone watching this thread and who would like to stay at the Buck Inn - there's been a cancellation for the 6th and 7th, so that room is now available again for those dates.

[Tony Russell Davis]

Please; everyone let me know if you still intend to come, and anyone that hasn't told me yet. It's very important that I get confirmation of attendance (very soon!).

Hi Tony, for reasons you’re already aware of, I won’t be able to attend the Festival this year.
I do wish all who do attend, a very enjoyable weekend.
Keith.

[Tony Russell Davis]

Yes Keith, I know about you but there's folks that have booked into the Buck and I don't know about that! All love, prayers and best wishes my friend to you and Val, Tony.

[Tony Russell Davis]

The Buck Inn is now fully booked for that weekend; thanks everybody.
One question from me though, I still haven't heard direct from everybody booked into the Buck, but one room is booked in the name of Cook and Abbott (not sure of the spelling, sorry) who particularly mentioned it's for the Steel Guitar weekend. It would really help to hear who this is and if player or supporter

[Jim Pritchard]

Hi Tony,
The names you are looking for are Mike Hearn (player) & his daughter Kay (singer)... AKA Cook-Abbott .
I've sent him a message on facebook messenger for you.

All the best for a great week end.
regards Jim

[Tony Russell Davis]

Thanks Jim - I remember Kay but didn't know her surname, but of course I know Mick - great player! Thanks also to Keith for the text about this.

Hi Tony. Yes it's myself and Kay although she has not mentioned singing this year. I know she has been very busy with the radio station and covering the shows over that weekend. Also it's that weekend when we find out if I have won the award of International DJ of the year with the ISSA and Kay is also a finalist in a couple of awards as well. Have also been asked to join a Rockabilly band on my return as steel player so all in all despite covid things are looking up.
