West Country Updates  -- not included in news pages & May issue pdf, below

Somerset: Sam - hope you're OK.  Just to let you know that we would hope to get going at Eli's, Huish Episcopi in September.  The pub isn't opening until the end of June so we may have a one-off before we get going properly again.  It'll just be nice to get together with some human contact if Mr. Johnson's plan comes to fruition.  We've been enjoying plenty of what's app song sessions but I think they've run their course now. 
Best wishes

    We were so sorry to hear the sad news about Mike Walford, Folklife West's Cornish correspondent [see Newsletter, 16 September].   His contributions were much appreciated, as was his tremendous support and promotion of folk music in Cornwall and the wider world, including the Cornwall Folk Festival and the various clubs and sessions in which he was involved.
    We are very pleased to announce that Nigel Morson (pictured left) has kindly agreed to take on this role.  Nigel is an active performer and one of the MCs at the well-known Dreamers Folk Club (www.dreamersfolk.co.uk).  
    Please contact Nigel at ntmorson <at> aol.com                               [15/11/2020]

THE ACOUSTIC CALENDAR

Bristol, Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Glos, Hampshire, Somerset, Wilts
       The monthly calendar of folk clubs, singarounds, acoustic sessions & open mics:  all about DIY music (not concerts, gigs, ceilidhs, etc).  Its purpose is to keep you informed of all the places where you can take your voice and/or instrument and join in or do your own thing.
       It has two parts: (1) monthly Calendar of events;  (2) alphabetical Venues List, giving a fuller description & contact details for each venue.  Each part can be downloaded in pdf format.  The Calendar can also be downloaded in a Word version so you can customise it according to your local requirements.
​        If you’d like my more-or-less twice monthly Acoustic Calendar Updates delivered to your inbox, let me know, using the contact form on the website.                              ® Tony Watts,  http://sanchobramble.weebly.com
