I wouldn't mind putting my toe into the water if I can cobble something together that represents what I've been up to of late (and for longer than that). Back from Portugal on the 13th, so could only do the Sunday. But I only live 15 minutes away, so aim to be there. Will get in contact with whoever's organising it. Looking forward to it!!

You can get in touch with the festival organiser (Dave Remnant) via email - I will send you a PM with Dave's contact details including his phone number. I had a listen to a recording of yours on SoundCloud today, and enjoyed what you played.

You were missed last year Mick. It will be nice to hear you strutting your stuff this year.

Incidentally, Dave Remnant has generously offered to pay the hall hire fee himself this year. It means that those players who have been put off by having to pay for the pleasure of preforming are now exempt from that imposition. I am hoping that those players attending may be interested in playing a round robin tune in honour of Ron Kew.

Just trying to help a friend out in memory of another friend Nick. Hope you are keeping well, and look forward to seeing you at the NoESGF later in the year. Take care buddy.
