Frittenden Festival

[Gavin Atkin]

I've added the Frittenden Festival on the weekend of the 20th March to the calendar.

 

Frittenden Festival - sing, dance and play kicks off on Friday the 19th with another old fashioned and traditional session in the bar of the Bell & Jorrocks, Frittenden, Kent, starting at 8pm and finishing when it's time for a couple of choruses of Nellie Dean.

 

There will be serious, sentimental and silly songs, lone and group tunes playing and step-dancing, and there's also likely to be another of our classy cheesy waltz moments.

 

A respected friend recently described the sessions we have at the B&J as being the best he knows, so don't miss the one's we're organising over this weekend! There will also be a concert, stepdancing workshops, and a village hall barn dance. I can't think of anywhere that will be having more fun over that weekend...

 

Concertina players will include Andy Turner and Gavin Atkin, and - rumour has it - Will Duke and Tony Dunn.

 

For those who don't know deepest, darkest Kent, Frittenden is a few miles south of Maidstone, so it's just off the M20. It's also a legendary place for treacle mines.
