Hi, KentFolk has been busy this last month, both making it easier
for you to hear the music of our Kentish musicians, and in
extending links to the wider world of music so you can follow them
to find other music sites of interest.
There are also now links to major sites such as
South East Folk Arts Network,
Art South East,
Irish Music Magazine
(this link has been there some time), and
the Louisiana and Cajun Website directory.
In particular, these sites should now all have in place links
back to KentFolk,
to help the wider world see what our Kentish musicians are capable of.
The Canterbury-Kent shop died a few months ago from lack of use, but now
I have for an experimental period added some "buy" links to the CD/MP3 section
of KentFolk.
You can still listen for free to some
MP3 music clips
from some of Kent's fine
musicians, such as the international multi-instrumentalist Tim Edey
(Daybreak),
and Cajunologie
(Touiller),
but if you like what you hear, you can now follow those links, and then
click to buy their CDs using a
credit or debit card. All payments are through the
secure PayPal system.
If you do not want to use a card, I think you can also use PayPal to do
a transfer from your bank (I never see your card or banking details).
If you make a purchase, the artist will send you the CD - tell me when
you receive it, and then the arist will be paid (less CC handling charges).
I just checked with Tim that he was still happy for me to sell his CD Daybreak
this way - he clearly is reading the email and replying using his mobile
phone whilst gigging in Ireland (see the gig list on
Tim's website):

did you know Tim E. is at the Elephant tomorrow [Tues][4th]
night?
He was there with Dimitris, and what class music it was - I really
think KentFolk has recorded some brilliant tracks - I will try and
get some up soon, and hope to put some on a live CD.
Do support the Elephant in Faversham, they have regular Celtic/Folk
music every Tuesday, and a beer festival 7th, 8th & 9th November,
with a range of folk music to drink to.
KentFolk has requested and been approved to join a number of music WebRings.
WebRing is a structured way of organising web sites - it has a tree structure
of classifications - at the end of each branch there is a WebRing - this is
a group of websites with a similar theme (such as offering Blues MP3 music)
that have a hub with radiating spokes - the sites at the ends of the spokes
are also joined in a ring. So you can either go in rotation around the
ring, or go to the hub and select which sites to visit.
I have joined various blues and folk rings - the Cajun and Zydeco ring
was unpopoulated, so I have created a Cajun+Zydeco ring, and am currently asking
sites if they would like to join it.
The WebRing links are to be found at the end of the KentFolk links section,
but for this month they will also be visitable from this News page.

Folk
From: Deborah Earl
Subject: Folk gig listing
Hi Beau
I got your address from the kentfolk website - great site by the way.
May I introduce myself - my name is Deborah Earl (Debs to my friends) and I
also work at UKC in the library. Last April I put on Show of Hands in our
local village hall - The Barn in Kingston.
It was a great success, selling out in a week and needing no promoting
whatsoever. On the strength of that I decided to have another go - this time
with the not so well known (though equally as entertaining) ColvinQuarmby.
This is happening on Saturday November lst, again the the Kingston Barn,
Kingston, nr Canterbury at 7.30pm. Tickets £9 from me on (01227)831493 If
you've not heard of them they are difficult to categorise, they describe
themselves as an eclectic mix of Folk/Pop/Country/Skiffle - so make of that
what you will! Could you please
include it in your listings and any advice you could give me for promoting
this would be gratefully received as it's all fairly new to me.
Many thanks

From Muzikman comes information about music at an excellent venue :
Kent’s Brightest Quality Music Venue
Nestling somewhere in the picturesque North Downs near Detling
The Hook &Hatchet at Hucking has always been a great live
music venue but now that the new owners have completely refurbished both inside
and out and best of all installed music lover/singer/actress/landlady Emma Ashby
the venue will prove to be a valuable asset to both her and musicians/performers
alike.
Emma has managed to satisfy all the requirements of a full
Public Entertainments Licence and as such we can now enjoy the proper full sound
of quality live music, with hey ….more than two musicians and a magic box ….I
don’t believe it.
Come and see for yourselves on Monday 15th December
when the fabulous Chillbillies, a seven piece funky R&B /Soul outfit
from North Kent, will lead the way into Christmas for sure with not only a very
full and polished sound but a great choice of popular music.
The band sports a dynamic three-piece brass section which
is completely ‘mind blowing’ from start to finish.
There are more fantastic negotiations taking place to secure
top entertainment at The Hook & Hatchet and soon there will be an awesome
line up of quality music for everyone to enjoy every Monday night into 2004.
Bullet, the highly polished
Blues band that rocked the Faversham Hop Festival this year will be playing
their well-rehearsed assortment of original and classic material.
The cast of four are all great musicians in their own right
and regularly appear in various top line ups in the UK and abroad, bringing
with them a unique blend of Blues, Rhythm & Blues …with a shot of Jazz.
Watch out for Sunday nights when this veritable hot bed of
live music is fostering impromptu appearances and ‘jam sessions’….making
music ‘off the cuff’ and spawning new acts as the evening freewheels into a
mélange of various instruments offering their interpretation to the mixture
of music presented on the night.
