First Year of the Sunray Folk Club

Well what a night- full of fun and just as wanted it. And Paul Downes with Mick Ryan a superb guest for us. all in all a good mix.
And the "Committed Band" performed their own thing!!

It was great.

Can't wait for the next two months- superb guests.

Stikkers

A wonderful night in one of the friendliest gatherings around. A good mix of abilities and a good mix of folk.
So nice to be a part of it. Loads of laffs and loads of fun- the way it should be!

Folk moves in mysterious ways

Some very interesting stuff going around recently. And SadFolk (such a pity the branding is not more attractive, as Folk shouldn't be seen as "sad"!) is now up to date.

Lots of stuff happening...in the run-up to Summer. The line-up at many Festivals is impressive and I do so hope they are all supported well. I see one has already decided to call it a day due to poor pre-sales.

And the down-turn in the economy is bound to have an impact.

Didn't win

The Songwriting competition in Wells has been and gone, and though I didn't win, I had a very interesting time, meeting some good friends and making some new ones. And we all witnessed a broad mix of styles.
And a supporter of the Sunray Folk Club was "runner up"- Nicola Clark.

Songwriter competition

Well, it seems I have been shortlisted (now one of 15) in the competition associated with Priddy Festival. Finals on Sunday 04May, in Wells.
Should be a nice day out anyway- Wells is very nice.

I see I know two of the judges too! Old friends from Bristol.

So what's going on

Well it seems "ROGER's RANT is progressing nicely and the plans are getting firmed up. And it's all for charity. Could be something that grows into something significant, yet friendly.

And I am trying Gaunts house this monday....see what goes on!

And Thursday sees Pete Castle at the Sunray...a great night in prospect.

Crediton in the rain

I usually visit Crediton- a small get together in Devon. I meet friends from Dorset and the Midlands, so it's good fun for me. The weather didn't help this year but the beer was good.
