🄰 GERMANY - ENGLISH FOLK CLUB Update for the friends of the EFC / Info für die Freunde des EFCs
As you will all know by now the EFC has been organizing Online Concerts for over a year because of the pandemic. We’re been on a summer break July – September for a number of reasons, but it's not just a summer break, it's a pause for thought too.
The tenant of our venue, the KissVino, which is a winery, was till now a large health clinic, but now the city of Bad Kissingen is re-establishing the contract and it’s being renegotiated and there will very likely be a new tenant. Neither a date nor information about the possible new tenant is known. However, hopefully it will be by the end of summer at the latest.
As soon as this happens, we will hopefully be able to have our EFC evenings again. That is, as long as the pandemic doesn’t raise its ugly head again.
Be assured we will notify you as soon as we have the good news.
If you have any questions or suggestions please let us know.
Wie Ihr alle wisst, wir, der EFC, hat wegen der Pandemie seit über einem Jahr nur Online-Konzerte organisiert. Wir haben aus mehreren Gründen seit Juni eine Sommerpause eingelegt, aber es ist nicht nur eine Sommerpause, sondern auch eine Denkpause.
Das KissVino befindet sich im Alten Rathaus in Bad Kissingen und gehört der Stadt Bad Kissingen. Der Pächter ist bis jetzt eine große Gesundheitsklinik, aber jetzt wird der Vertrag neu verhandelt und es wird sehr wahrscheinlich einen neuen Pächter geben. Weder ein Datum noch Information über der evtl. neuen Pächter ist bekannt. Hoffentlich wissen wir es bis spätestens Ende des Sommers.
Sobald dies geschieht, hoffen wir, dass wir unsere EFC-Abende veranstalten können, aber auch was wichtig ist solange die Pandemie nicht wieder ihren hässlichen Kopf erhebt.
Sei versichert, dass wir Dich/Euch benachrichtigen und Bescheid geben, sobald wir mehr wissen.
Wenn DuFragen oder Anregungen hast, lasse es uns es bitte wissen.
Our best musical regards

@ emailed Mon 19 July 2021 ... Updates
Newsletter Editorial 19/7/2021
Folklife 19 July 2021 Newsletter: reopening ...
Today's the day that Covid rules in England (not Wales, not Scotland) change . . .
"Hoping to open September, but haven't sorted a venue yet (regular pub may be too small if people want to distance themselves), or quite how we'll do it at all...."
Some folk venues opening, some not, and quite a few still thinking about it ...
As expected (that's why we said earlier we'd postpone our deadline, normally today).
Our revised deadline for folk news is 19 August, for October publication.
By then, we expect more will have decided, if all goes well . . .
Do let us know - we'll add to Updates webpage as we hear, & then in Newsletters.
Attending folk events - safety concerns - government gives organisers the job of reassuring audience in the absence of legally-binding Government rules (for example, poorly-ventilated rooms are a problem for many clubs).
Some folk events are fully prepared and ready to go! See Updates below.
Others are considering how best & when to open; and some are leaving opening till covid numbers look better.
Our last full-sized magazine, Jan 2020, was a record 64 A4 pages - fewer in October? We've gained new Members (thanks, Zoom); others left (lost venue; or given up due to Covid difficulties); and as above, some plan to continue - but not yet.
Accordingly, perhaps fewer news pages, and fewer adverts.
Therefore, we continue to be a very non-profit group, and currently extremely non-profit ...
So, if you're not a Member, your support (£16/year) will be gratefully appreciated...
Members' news before October: do send for Updates page & Newsletter!

Publications: "Llyfr Alawon DnA Tune Book" Delyth & Angharad Jenkins
🄲 Nid oedd y ddeuawd mam a merch Delyth & Angharad Jenkins, sy’n cael eu hadnabod fel DnA, yn segur yn ystod y cyfnod clo. Gyda phob gig wedi ei ganslo fe aethon nhw ati i weithio ar brosiectau gwahanol, ac un ohonynt oedd creu llyfr alawon o’u dwy albwm cyntaf Adnabod (2013) a Llinyn Arian (2018). Mae'r llyfr yn cynnwys rhai o alawon traddodiadol gorau Cymru ac efallai llai adnabyddus, yn ogystal â chyfansoddiadau gwreiddiol. Er bod Delyth ac Angharad yn adnabyddus am chwarae'r delyn a'r ffidil, mae'r alawon yn y llyfr hwn yn gallu cael eu chwarae ar unrhyw offeryn. Gallai trefniannau'r delyn gael eu chwarae ar y piano. A llinell uchaf y trefniant yw llinell y ffidil, neu’r alaw. Mae cordiau wedi cael eu rhoi ar gyfer yr alawon, felly gallai gitâr neu unrhyw offeryn sy'n chwarae cordiau gyfeilio’r alawon. Mae'r llyfr hwn yn rhoi cyfle i bob cerddor rannu a mwynhau’r gerddoriaeth hon. www.dna-folk.co.uk Ø Mother and daughter duo Delyth & Angharad Jenkins, known affectionately as DnA, were not idle during lockdown. With all gigs cancelled they put their minds to alternative projects, one of which was to put together a tune book of music from their first two albums Adnabod (2013) and Llinyn Arian (2018). The book includes some of Wales’s finest and perhaps lesser known traditional tunes, as well as original compositions. Although Delyth and Angharad are known for playing the harp and fiddle, the tunes in this book could be played on any instrument. The harp arrangements could be played on the piano. And the fiddle or melody line is the top line of the arrangement. Chords have also been given for the tunes, so they could just as well be accompanied by a guitar or any chordal instrument. This book gives all musicians the opportunity to share and delight in this music. www.dna-folk.co.uk |

🄵 Herefs - Prince of Wales, Ledbury (Wed weekly)
The PM’s announcement this evening would seem to suggest that we could be back in the Prince of Wales on 21st July if all goes as planned. I haven’t heard that there will be any restrictions still on singing, so fingers crossed.
🄵 FOLK AT THE FALCON is a new Member - see Updates for Directory below.
🄵 Herefs FOLK AT THE FALCON, Bromyard : Friday 13th August, 7.30pm. The Falcon Mews will echo once again to some of the country's finest and most entertaining acoustic musicians.
Journeyman play a unique blend of folk, pop, rock, Irish and country music. Brilliant and lively repertoire, and renowned for their laid back, tongue in cheek presentation! They are: Paul Beadle, vocals, guitar, mandolin, flute, percussion, playing and singing with amazing vigour; Andy Lindsay, vocals, guitar, mandolin, whistle and harmonica, and a fine songwriter; brilliant bass player Marc Miletich (The Roving Crows, Babajak and Worcester Symphony Orchestra); and Kimberly Turnbull (Flatworld), a superb singer and brilliant violinist.
Supported by Koppelli, Ludlow duo: Nathan Edwards, guitar, harmonica, vocals, and Sheena Wieckowicz, keyboards, accordion, percussion, handpans, vocals. They met two years ago at an open mic and have been together ever since, playing mostly their own original material. Sheena says: 'We play thoughtful, romantic and fun original songs, written by both of us, but predominantly Nathan.'
Audience numbers may continue to be limited by Covid restrictions, so it's advised to book early. Tickets are £10 from Roger Pugh at pugh<at>live.co.uk / 01885 483425 / 07779 694615

Herefs-Worcs
🄵 Herefs - Prince of Wales, Ledbury (Wed weekly)
The PM’s announcement this evening would seem to suggest that we could be back in the Prince of Wales on 21st July if all goes as planned. I haven’t heard that there will be any restrictions still on singing, so fingers crossed.
🄵 FOLK AT THE FALCON is a new Member - see Updates for Directory below.
🄵 Herefs FOLK AT THE FALCON, Bromyard : Friday 13th August, 7.30pm. The Falcon Mews will echo once again to some of the country's finest and most entertaining acoustic musicians.
Journeyman play a unique blend of folk, pop, rock, Irish and country music. Brilliant and lively repertoire, and renowned for their laid back, tongue in cheek presentation! They are: Paul Beadle, vocals, guitar, mandolin, flute, percussion, playing and singing with amazing vigour; Andy Lindsay, vocals, guitar, mandolin, whistle and harmonica, and a fine songwriter; brilliant bass player Marc Miletich (The Roving Crows, Babajak and Worcester Symphony Orchestra); and Kimberly Turnbull (Flatworld), a superb singer and brilliant violinist.
Supported by Koppelli, Ludlow duo: Nathan Edwards, guitar, harmonica, vocals, and Sheena Wieckowicz, keyboards, accordion, percussion, handpans, vocals. They met two years ago at an open mic and have been together ever since, playing mostly their own original material. Sheena says: 'We play thoughtful, romantic and fun original songs, written by both of us, but predominantly Nathan.'
Audience numbers may continue to be limited by Covid restrictions, so it's advised to book early. Tickets are £10 from Roger Pugh at pugh<at>live.co.uk / 01885 483425 / 07779 694615

This decision has not been taken lightly, but with the current situation, our absolute priority is the safety of our staff, artists, traders, audience and the local community.

🄵 2021 Jul 8 - 11 BROMSGROVE FOLK FESTIVAL cancelled www.bromsgrovefolkclub.co.uk
Hi one and all
Following the Prime Minister’s announcement extending restrictions on social distancing, etc., we have, with great regret, decided to cancel Bromsgrove Folk Festival 2021. The logistics of working on such a confined site render it almost impossible to safeguard the health and safety of festival goers, artists, and “crew”.
We trust that everyone will understand why we had to take this decision and look forward to returning “better not bigger” in 2022 (put 7th to 10th July 2022 in your diary).
Stay safe and well, look after one another

🄵 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.

San Francisco Folk Music Club 4th of July Camp Goes Virtual Once Again -- Zoom meetings on Friday July 2, Saturday July 3 and Sunday July 4.
You may arrange to use as many breakout rooms as you wish, but please let us know ahead of time if at all possible so we can have them on the schedule in order for as many people to attend as possible.
Ed Hilton set up three Zoom links on our Club account for Memorial Day, one for each day of camp, and that worked so well that we'll be repeating the process. All you'll have to do to join in is click on the link, look at the list of breakout rooms, and then click on which one you'd like to join.
Friday Night July 2; [Pacific Time]
5-7 pm: Bring Your Own Everything Pot Luck - a chance to check in with your friends and eat some dinner (or not) with them. This won't be a musical meeting as much as a way for us just to talk to each other as we would if we were having a pot luck at a live camp.
7-11 pm: Song Swap. Cyprian's will be held online the following Friday, July 9. This will be a similarly styled song swap with people taking turns sharing songs.
Breakout rooms will be available from 5 - 11 pm.
Saturday July 3:
Workshop I: 11am - 12 noon (Hali Hammer hosts). Workshop II: 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm (Ed Hilton hosts). Workshop III: 2 pm - 3 pm (Hali Hammer hosts). Workshop IV: 3:30 pm - 4:30 pm (Ed Hilton hosts). Open Mic 7-9 pm (this seemed to be the preferred time suggested by the most participants)
Breakout rooms will be available from 11 am to 11 pm.
Sunday, July 4: Same Schedule as Saturday. Breakout rooms will be available both Saturday and Sunday from 11 am to 11 pm.
If you're interested in leading a workshop, contact either Ed Hilton (ed_hilton@<at>yahoo.com) or Hali Hammer (halih<at>yahoo.com) to reserve your space. If you want to have a longer song swap you can do it in a breakout room.
If you want a slot for Open Mic, contact Ed for Saturday night or Hali for Sunday night.
We're hoping to have a live camp for Labor Day weekend (September 3-5) but if not, we'll continue to hold virtual camp. - Hali Hammer. SFFMC is at www.sffmc.org

Folklife magazine has been growing about 4 pages a year, 64 A4 pages last time fully printed Jan 2020
We've produced free online issues . . . but have lost substantial festival advertising revenue.
With recurring costs (websites, domains, email, recent repairs & upgrades for computers & software), we are losing even more money than usual !
We can publicise you, our members.
We can keep going because of your support via our membership scheme, but would appreciate your help at this difficult time for the magazine.
So some modest requests:
(1) we will still ask you to renew membership when it's due, for the next 3 printed issues - not counting May & Sept free online-only issue, so will be for 1 year + 8 months
(2) non-members who appreciate what we do are asked to consider joining (£18 a year).
(3) please please tell your friends!
