Some of this news is the same as last month's as that came out so late,
but there are lots of new things and updates scattered through it.
More calendar and event updates coming daily.
Brilliant news, with Laura's permission :

----------------------------------------
Hello people,
I'm writing to you to let you all know of Lily's entrance to the world
early thursday morning! She dived out of the caul into the birthpool in
record time, obviously in a hurry to find out what it's all about! She is
beautiful and mostly very contented, she has the most amazing long,
elegant fingers, musician's fingers I reckon...but I could be
biased....and big blue eyes.
I'm very tired but well and quite euphoric really!
Hope you are all well and happy.

Managed to find the time to listen to some music myself the other day,
see the photo-reports on the new section:
[Current Gig Photos].
KentFolk paid the first visit of what I certainly hope will be an annual pilgramage,
to the
London Fiddle Convention,
at Cecil Sharp House.
This was the 13th, but the first time I had heard of it !
see the second photo-report.
KentFolk is hoping to put on quite a bit of music this year :
The first is a St. Patrick's Night special - Thu. 17th March, with Camine : Top quality celtic music.
Ramona Egle on fiddle and whistle, Zinta Egle on guitar. Remarkable harmony singing from these twin sisters.
In the Red Lion Hotel,
Canterbury Road, Wingham, Nr. Canterbury, Kent.
CT3 1BB
With Irish food (excellent) : £12.00.

Monkey Puzzle
The KentFolk Gig in the King William, Littlebourne, was excellent,
a completely packed pub and great music. Tim Edey sat in for part
of the gig as well.
Monkey Puzzle offer :
Remarkably good fiddle, whistle - some of the best bodhran playing in the country, and class guitar.
Top Celtic instrumental music, with some excellent gypsy rhythms as well :
Laura Targett, Lucy Randall and Pete Gazey.
Laura and Lucy have won the Wiltshire award for Young Folk Musicians of the Year.
Lucy also won the Wiltshire award for Young Instrumentalist of the year.
Laura is on walk-about mostly these days, touring with Celtic shows in Australia.
Laura Targett is back in the UK for a short while, so
book Monkey Puzzle for gigs while you can.

Folk
From: Hook The Band
hooktheband_at_hotmail_dot_com
Subject: UPCOMING GIGS
Hello Hook fans!
we had a stomping time in Glasgow despite Jo becoming grumpy ( ;o) ) with a
hangover and over-tiredness but now we're happily booked to do a few chilled
out home town gigs in Canterbury.
1) 13th November- Local Hero Records
2) 21st November- The George- Petham ( stone street). ( possible
lunchtime/evening)
Both these venues are lovely cosy and friendly - perfect for a more refined
night out!
Do hope to see you there.. we'd be very chuffed
If you want membership for Local Heros call 01227 760801 and they will sort
you out.
Check out
www.Jo-Hook.com
for news, reviews and upcoming gigs plus how to
get hold of our new Hook and friends CD "Square"
Thanks
Hook
