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] |

Ø Cornwall - DREAMERS FOLK CLUB - Weekly on Sundays, live on Zoom. We manage access to our zoom sessions so folk can see each other and interact, preserving some of the Club atmosphere. So we keep around 2/3 of our seats for those who have supported us regularly and ask others to contact ntmorson <at> aol.com in advance if they want to come along on any particular night. Hoping to have e-guests once a month.

THE ACOUSTIC CALENDARBristol, 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 |
