BROADSTAIRS FOLK WEEK relies on a mix of sponsorship, grants, sales and collections, and we have been fortunate to be included in the draw for NatWest Community Force funds. However, we need to get as many votes as possible so please share with your friends - everywhere! This would be a great boost for Folk Week fund-raising! Thank you! Please help us raise money for Broadstairs Folk Week! You can vote for us wherever you live - voting started on Monday 26 September - just click through on the link, register and vote. It will take a few minutes of your time, but we really would appreciate your making the effort, and if we are successful this would get 2012 fund-raising off to a great start. Thank you so much Jo Tuffs Director Broadstairs Folk Week

Two very important updates! - Stafford
Firstly, tickets for the fabulous Les Barker are now available on line at;
www.staffordgatehousetheatre.co.uk/whats-on/other-events/Les-Barker
Please don't leave it to the last minute to buy yours, the room has a very limited capacity and there were a lot of last minute disappointments last time he was here, and at only six quid a ticket it is something that you really should not miss. Put it in your diary 13th October.
Secondly, the American Clawhammer Banjo Star Ken Pearlman is in concert at the Pie & Ale house with support from Small Change on October 7th. Tickets are just £6.50 or £5.50 concessions. To book yours ring George Davies on 01543 571910 or buy on the door. Another not to be missed show.
Thanks

This year's concert promises to be yet another wonderful tribute to the acoustic guitar, with a triple header concert featuring Thomas, Leeb (courtesy of George Lowden Guitars), Jacques Stotzem (thanks to Fishman Pickups and Amplification) and Bruce Gaitsch (appearing with the support of McPherson Guitars).
Previous visitors top Acoustic Avalon will need no introduction to the wizardry of Austrian born Thomas Leeb, and the wonderful artistry of Jacques Stotzem from Belgium, both of whom are regular welcome visitors to the show. Both are at the top of their game, and will put on a wondeful show. We are delighted to welcome Chicago born Bruce Gaitsch to the concert stage this year. Bruce is a hugely successful guitarist and songwriter, whose successes include a co-written No 1 hit for Madonna, "La Isla Bonita", which went to No 1 in 24 countries worldwide.
The concert is always a sell out, so be sure to order your tickets before the event!
