Frittenden 26th-27th March

[Gavin Atkin]

I'd like to draw you're attention to an item I've just put on the calendar!

 

We've got a cracking series of events lined up at Frittenden on the weekend of the 26th March.

 

Invited weekend performers include Will Duke (singer, anglo player), Andy Turner (singer, anglo and melodeon player), Annie Dearman (singer) and Steve Harrison (singer, melodeon, harmonica ), and Peter Collins (singer). Peta Webb and Ken Hall (singers) appear on Sunday evening.

 

I think the sessions on Saturday lunchtime and Sunday evening in particular will be terrific, and will be just the job for many players on this forum. Of course, Julie and I will also be there with our instruments.
