Hi All <br>
 <br>
A quick update...... <br>
 <br>
Still some tickets left for Martin Simpson on Fri 17th Feb. <br>
It's interesting, this gig is bringing in loads of new people to Folk in the Barn which is fantastic.  A warm welcome to you all.
 <br>
Show of Hands tickets are going like......er..... warm moist <br>
chocolatey muffins!   Not many left for Saturday night now <br>
but still quite a few for the Friday.  A huge well done to lots of you who are braving the two gigs, that's dedication for you and shows excellent taste.
 <br>
Saw a few familiar faces at the Kadril gig last Saturday at the Gulbenkian.  They were great and come across as really nice people. It's a shame they only do one gig a year in the UK.
It would be great to see them at some of the UK summer fetivals.
Perhaps we should all email some organisers on their behalf. <br>
For those who don't know, they are described as the Belgian Fairport!
Actually I don't think they are 'like' anyone, they have their own style and it's very appealing right down to the violintrumpet! What was That??
 <br>
Another entertaining night was Wednesday at Faversham Folk Club. There was a full house for The Witches of Elswick, who were funny and talented, despite being one man (woman) down.
What grabbed me though was a very short floor spot by a duo from Sussex, Kevin Barber and Mark Taylor......

<br>
They definitely left me wanting to hear more, two guitars complementing each other perfectly as did their voices.  Talking of Faversham Folk Club - Vin Garbutt is there next Weds, don't miss him. Check out what else they have lined up....

Last but absolutely NOT least - if you have to be anywhere this week make sure it's Tuesday night at the Medway Folk Cellar, Central Theatre Chatham.  Gerry, Mart, Nick and Dave - ColvinQuarmby will be back in the County, fresh from their sell out tour of Holland
- Yes all of it!! (well maybe not). So If you're suffering from a bit of winter gloom, come along and I guarantee they'll shake it off for you for a few hours at least.  Starts 8pm supported by Kent's own and very entertaining  'Hot Rats' 01634 338338
