Hi,
KentFolk is for Live Music in Kent, UK.:

On KentFolk you will find Live Music event calendars, Music Session and Open Stage listings, and News about Live Music events.
On KentFolk there are also photos and MP3 music files for local artists, with many more to come as I have the time. KentFolk now has recorded numerous live Kentish gigs - a number are in part on the web page, some exist as CDs, see the MP3 Music pages.
KentFolk lists any quality live music event in Kent, UK, so please send them to me. KentFolk is centered on the CT1 and CT3 areas, the main postcode areas covered are CT, ME and TN, but some events are also covered in London, Suffolk and Sussex :
Some of KentFolk's 150 or so quality venues are starting to show up on Google Local : Google Local Map, but remember most also have a postcode link that you can follow through to a MultiMap.

Kentfolk is still hosted on canterbury-kent.com - but should now be only directly accessed via the 'correct' address of http://www.kentfolk.com, which will take you to the latest pages.
If you have the old kentfolk.canterbury-kent.com address bookmarked, please now bookmark http://www.kentfolk.com to access the current calendar and news pages.

My old email addresses work fine, but you may find this one easier to remember : E-mail me : beau@kentfolk.com

KentFolk now has "buy" buttons for Kentish musicians' CDs, on the MP3 music section - listen before you buy.
Musicians - please contact me regarding selling your CDs on KentFolk.

Once again you can buy tickets for events on KentFolk - there is also now a "bulk buy" PayPal button just below this section, for buying CDs or event tickets. You can now pay for them over PayPal without being a PayPay menber, using your credit card, which may simplify things.
Please also contact me if you have event tickets you would like to sell via KentFolk.

I have put the event table formats that I use to construct the calendar at the bottom - that is the easiest for me to work from, but don't worry if you have some other format you wish to use.

If you find this web page of use, tell the publicans - this will help ensure that the web page does not die an early death. Tell your friends about it! - http://www.kentfolk.com is for live music in Kent!

KentFolk Events 2005

KentFolk hosted a number of events in 2005 - all fiddle led - now why will that be no surprise to my friends ? :

Thu. 17th March 2005 - a St. Patrick's Night Special, in The Red Lion Hotel, Wingham, with Irish food, SOLD OUT A WEEK IN ADVANCE - a real hum-dinger

Sat. 7th May 2005 - a Spring Cajun Dance, in Littlebourne thatched Barn, Only one chair left unsold - but everyone was dancing, so no possible problem there, an excellent evening.

Sat. 24th September 2005 - an Autumn Barn Dance, in Littlebourne thatched Barn,

but the flag-ship was the "Fiddlers Various" long week-end,
with pub fiddle gigs, and a fiddle showcase in the Littlebourne Barn, preceeded by two fiddle workshops :

Fri. 3rd June 2005 - Saskia Tomkins in the King William IV in Littlebourne.

Sun. 5th June 2005, 10am - Fiddle Workshop, led by Ben Paley.

Sun. 5th June 2005, 2pm - Fiddle Workshop, led by Saskia Tomkins.

Sun. 5th June 2005, 7:15pm - "Fiddlers Various" Showcase in the Thatched Barn, Littlebourne.

Mon. 6th June 2005 - Monkey Puzzle with Laura Targett in the Red Lion in Wingham. "Curry and Ceilidh".

And the legendary Ste�f�n Hannigan (all British uillean pipe champion and virtuoso bodhran player) came down for the weekend, and he and multi-instrumentalist Chris Taylor accompanied the fiddlers during the Fiddle Showcase. And a brilliant weekend it was - everthing I hoped and more.

KentFolk and Google

Google has a number of great new features, which KentFolk is starting to apply, a long way to go yet, but these tools include :

Google Local, Google Maps :
KentFolk is registered on Google Local :
KentFolk has been linking to maps generated by Multi-Map, from postcodes links, for some years, but Google Local and Google Maps offer significant advantages:
Try : KentFolk venues on Google Local
to see some of the 150 or so pubs and other venues on the KentFolk database, that are now also on Google Local, giving immediate maps, satelite photos, distances and driving directions ...

Google Base :
which allows me to specify a choice of key words to be applied to uploaded events, with direct Google listing and searching by date and location, as well as added Google Maps.
i.e. you can go to http://google.co.uk/base and browse "Events and Activities"
I am starting to add links to selected events on the KentFolk Calendars, to take you to a full page of info on Google Base, with maps etc. ...

Google Calendar :
This has greatly improved since I first experimented with it. A nice feature is that you can overlay events from different sources, and build up your own private calendar, also with maps etc. ...
So far I have only added a few sessions and folk clubs, see the monthly News pages for sessions and folk clubs. Hopefully more to come soon ....
If you already are signed up for Google Calendar, clicking on this link will allow you to add this KentFolk Sessions and Folk Club Calendar to your private (secure) list of viewable and copyable calendars;
else it will first take you to a Google page so that you can subscribe :

A new Google Search to search Kent Folk :

Enter your search terms Submit search form

Web www.kentfolk.com
Google Adverts :
In the earliest days of KentFolk, an advertising banner was a required part of the hosting package I was using. That went, but I kept music related "Link-Exchange" banners on the site, in exchange for which the KentFolk banner was displayed on other music sites.
Google have been increasingly targetting their adverts even better, until they are now quite useful. Visiting other websites, I frequently find the adverts to be relevant and worth following. Thus I have finally decided to try them on KentFolk. And am now trying Google referal, like the buttons below. Your comments are very welcome.
..................

New Google goodies :
Some of these will help you to search Kent Folk better, edit selected photos, and generally improve your web experience.

Combined Event Ticket and CD orders

Use secure PayPal to pay by Credit Card, Debit Card, or direct transfer from your bank account (I do not see any of your financial details) - You can now pay by Credit Card without being a PayPal member, which should make things easier :

Purchasing Event Tickets :

enter the event name and date in the box below;
click on the PayPal button;
enter the number of tickets, and your name and address;
add up the total cost of the tickets, and add a pound if you want the tickets posted (1st Class), enter it in the box, (else bring your PayPal receipt and you will be able to pick the tickets up on the door);
select to pay via PayPal or credit/debit card;
select postage or not, enter your address, complete the transaction. You should get an explicit message from KentFolk of the success or failure of the transaction.

Purchasing CDs :

To make a combined CD order, saving on postage and transaction charges, please email me with the details of the CDs you would like, and where they are to be posted to. I will confirm if the CDs are currently available, and give a total price including combined postage and transaction cost, then complete the payment as above.

Order Details

Pay by Secure PayPal and/or Credit Card.

MP3 and Digital Album downloads

It is now possible to buy local musicians' MP3 tracks from KentFolk, using PayLoadz buy buttons - or use the shopping basket to give less money to the merchandising system :

KentFolk Calendar Entry Format :

I have now written programs that can read gig list information directly from certain web pages (with the authors' permission), and this is now the easiest way for me to update the calendar; however I am also pleased to receive gig information by email, preferably in the same formats.
For both of these I thus now prefer certain simple formats that my programs can read directly, without me having to hand edit each set of information.
Please see:

Preferred KentFolk gig-list formats

I have also started a development program to convert the KentFolk format to generate Google Base listings as well....

KentFolk CDs & MP3 Music Tracks

KentFolk now has recorded numerous live Kentish gigs - a number are in part on this web page, some exist as CDs.

KentFolk has "buy" buttons for Kentish musicians' CDs, on the MP3 music section - listen before you buy. I have also recently gained the technology to sell MP3 tracks direct from KentFolk. In addition I am now working with eFolkMusic in the USA to bring you Kentish musicians' tracks and Digital Albums.

Musicians - please contact me regarding selling your CDs on KentFolk, though I am currently well behind in placing these and MP3 tracks on this web page.

For details see : www.kentfolk.com/KF_mp3/ and

Songs, Stories and Verse from Kentish Folk :

Look Now.
