FolkWorkshops Newsletter; 5th May 2011

Dear Supporter,

What an Easter we have had. It is comparatively restful now but you will be pleased to hear we had some very favourable comments re our singing at the Mountain Mayhem Fete. One such person was very well qualified to express an opinion. Say no more.

Just a brief update. Our next session will be at Newton Church Room this coming Wednesday 11th at 7.30. Jim Neale for the Black Swan is hoping to come along. He plays the guitar and violin and has a wide range of songs as is happy to play along with whatever is going on. There seems to be rather a lot going on with events coming thick and fast. This week alone there have been four events. We have succumbed to two. The Courtyard tonight with Belshazzar's Feast, thus missing the Black Swan, and Pete Coe at the Lion Ballroom Leominster on Friday, thus missing the Martin Harley band at the Courtyard.

Village Quire News: our friends will be singing at various points around the Festival Hall next Saturday 14th May. The highlight should be The Main Foyer after Martin Carthy has been interviewed for TV as part of his 70th Birthday celebrations and while the audience is coming in. It is all part of the celebrations marking the Festival of Britain 1951.

Foxwhelp Morris: Now the light evenings are with us you may be looking for an outing. Why not combine support of a local hostelry with watching a bit of Morris Dancing. Here is Foxwhelps itinerary for places nearby. Full details can be found at: http://foxwhelpmorris.wordpress.com
