YET MORE FOLK INFORMATION

Hi folks, we are so blessed that there is so much and such varied stuff going on - there really must be something for everyone - so whatever you are looking for, here's hoping you find it in abundance!   I still have more to send out, but I think this is enough or now! Lorna     Hi Lorna   Could you please add to your next mailing that I will be doing my one-man show "Going for a Soldier" at the Swan, Leek on Tuesday 24 May, 8.30, as part of the Leek Festival. Admission is £4. I attach a poster.   Regards Jeff   If you've not seen this you should try to go, it is brilliant - Lorna   --- On Thu, 14/4/11, stephengullick@btinternet.com <stephengullick@btinternet.com> wrote: From: stephengullick@btinternet.com <stephengullick@btinternet.com> Subject: Fw: A Date for Your Diary!! Hi Everyone The long awaited Music Hall/Variety Night is now in its planning stages. We have a date! It looks like being the 1st October 2011, so stick it in your diary. Venue yet to be confirmed. This event will be a little different to the others we have done in that we hope to actually put on a 'Show' rather than just a string of performers. It is going to take a lot of planning and, like all of these things, timing is everything.   So, a little nudge to those who have shown interest in 'doing a turn', can you start to give a little thought to what you are going to do and, importantly, how long a spot you need.  Although it is planned as a mainly Music Hall act, your act can be almost anything – Music Hall, Magic, Escapology, Knife Throwing, Monologues, Dance, Unicycling, even singing if you want. All we are looking for at the moment are names and numbers and some idea of how long an appearance on stage you need, whether you want to do one or two spots. This is going to be a very slick production (said with tongue very firmly held in cheek) and will need some rehearsal and careful planning. We hope to give everyone a stab, if your performance is not thought to be up to scratch, you may get more than one stab, probably in the neck! There will be no opportunity for floor spots on the night, so if you are up for it, we need to know now. This, like the other events we have done, is all for charity, details to follow. We will send another email within the next ten days, in the meantime, could any potential performers please let us know of your interest, and bag yourself a spot.   Cheers Steve ______________________________________________________________________   Subject: The chickenshack ---open mic night----- Sat 23rd April.....The Cock Inn Hanbury DE13 8TD Hi All of you lovely people.

Apologies if you get this more than once, I won't send anything else unless you ask to be on the Have a Go mailing list. I know that for some of you it will be too far, or you'll be too busy. But someone you pass this on to might be interested.     Dancers, musicians, and callers are invited to a music and dance session in Chester. Beginners and experts welcome. We are calling it "Have A Go". So come and do what you already do, and have a go at something new. The idea is to play dance tunes, then dance to them. With anyone who wants to call choosing dances of any sort - English ceilidh style, Playford, American squares and contras, Welsh or Scottish... whatever. Similar to the French session that happens on the first Monday of the month, but more varied. The first session will be Thursday 19th May from 8pm at Chester Deaf Centre Southview Road Chester Cheshire CH14JG If this becomes a regular Third Thursday event we will build up a repertoire of tunes and a tunebook that those who prefer to play from the dots can print out. Marilyn has a book of tunes for her Black Cat Band that I can email to you as an Adobe file. But I thought for the first meeting we might stick to the sort of tunes everyone plays in sessions. Then if callers tell me which tunes they want I can give you an idea of which you need to print out for which session. I don't intend to print out dozens of copies of all 48 pages. If anyone has a good tune to include in our repertoire, tell me. Or any other ideas. Please pass on the word to anyone who might be interested It would be helpful to know how many might be coming and whether you dance, play or call. If anyone has a good tune to include in our repertoire, tell me. Or any other ideas.   First night would be free, after that a suggested donation of £2 to cover the cost of the room etc.     Please pass this on, and let me know if you'd like to be kept informed. Cheers, Mo mjw@mowaddington.plus.com _________________________________________________________________________     Great gig last night, loved the choice of songs. here is my forthcoming gig ad.                             Nigel Ratcliffe Will be performing a wide range of songs from the 50's and 60's            With a few surprises thrown in!
