Geoffrey Crabb Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I realise that many of the regular attendees have heard most of my family history so I apologise in advance but hopefully other things may be shown or heard that have not been seen before. Does anyone who will be attending the weekend have access to a projector that will connect to a Laptop and can definitely bring it along. Whether I am clever enough to use it is another matter. Also, if anybody has any other concertina related things that they would like to discuss in public or in private, I will be available all weekend. Sometimes I do get a bit inundated so please do come back to me if you feel that you have been ignored. If it is your first visit, do come and say hello.

Mark Davies Posted June 27, 2011 Author Share Posted June 27, 2011 I sold a good number of tickets for the weekend at the lovely English Country Music Weekend in Brightlingsea where the weekend tickets were on Special Offer,at £20 instead of £25, so I am repeating the offer via this site.When booking quote offer code BTMWCN1.If you need information or a booking form email me.I am hoping that Keith Kendrick(anglo & english)& Sylvia Needham(Maccann Duet) will be attending for at least part of the weekend.The weekend features the best line up of traditional singers you are likely to see in the UK.

David Levine Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 You can have excellent home cooked pie and peas and a pint for £5. For this alone, if for nothing else, I wish I could come. But visitors leave today and The Flute Maker arrives on the 18th, so I must forgo this great event. Perhaps next year. It sounds as if it is reaching epic proportions. Deservedly so. Lovely venue, lovely people, great music. And pie, peas, and a pint for £5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irene S. Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Aw shucks Mark ... wistfully sitting here and wishing I could make it this year! Hope it all goes well for you, and I'll hope to be attending next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Wild Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 [quote I'll arrive on Saturday too (with tent). I am missing out - could not manage these dates this year. If I want to attend in the future, is this an event that depends on camping? Or can less hardy souls like me find a close enough B & B ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
