Rumney Folk Festival Cardiff 05 Sep 09

Rumney Folk Festival, Cardiff - Saturday 05 September 09

Who else is going?

Mrs English Bloke and I are looking forward to it immensely... An excellent opportunity to meet Derek and Elaine for the first time as well as Hamish who I believe is acting as compare for the event. Apparently there's some good beers on as well as some good music.

Barring any International Apocalyptic and Cataclysmic Disasters, I will be there. Saturday for the Fest and returning home on Sunday.

Chas

Best,

Robert
Just listened to your music on myspace - that is a wonderful sound. It is the way folk music sounded when I was a child, before it got all folk-rocky.

Regards

Chas

Yes, John, I'll be there, and a fantastic line-up of talent has been booked for the occasion. You will just love Derek and Elaine, believe me! Looking forward to meeting you and Mrs. English Bloke - and Chas too. Anyone else?

Take care,
Ham.
