Subject: Christmas presents - Part II


Hello again

Part II

If Part I wasn't enough to wet your appetite - here's some more...
Friday 26th March
AND
Saturday 27th March
Martyn Joseph - The Kingston Barn, nr Canterbury Tickets £16 from me by email.
And on Saturday 27th March Martyn fans will have the chance to attend a workshop with the man himself - including lunch at the Black Robin pub, just down the road from the Barn.
Time-table
Saturday 27th March
From 11.45am - arrival at The Black Robin, Kingston
12 noon - cold buffet lunch served - tea and coffee included. 12.50pm a short walk or drive up to the Kingston Barn.
1pm Workshop Part 1
2pm Tea break
2.20pm Workshop Part 2
Finishing by 3.30pm

The workshop is aimed at everybody, not just musicians. It is non participatory, though if you have your own writings or recordings you are welcome to bring them to show Martyn. In part one he will be discussing the tools of his craft, how he creates his unique sound. Also his inspirations and approach to song writing, different ways of expression. He has always joked that his guitar is his 'cheap psychiatrist' , he'll explain what that means. In part two there will be a chance for questions from the audience, so come prepared if there is something you've always wanted to ask. Martyn is charismatic and gracious and a great raconteur, even if you have no interest in the technical side of his craft, I can assure you it will be a fascinating insight into this amazing mans life and work. It is an exclusive event to us, there are no plans to hold any more next year in the UK. It will be promoted nationally after Christmas, but folkinthebarners get priority booking - so don't delay if you are interested.
The cost of the workshop is £32 (Thats for three and a half hours, including lunch) The package price for a concert performance plus workshop is a discounted £45
Limited spaces available so first come first served.



And still more.....

Friday 30th April
Show of Hands - STANDING ROOM ONLY TOUR At the Quarterhouse, Folkestone www.quarterhouse.co.uk/ Tickets £15 and £12 concessions from 01303 858500
Show of Hands need no introduction to most of you. Those that are familiar with their music, know that they have a wealth of material, much of it often overlooked in the intimate setting of a seated concert. This is a chance for them to play their favourite up-tempo songs, often featured in a festival performance. Powerful rhythmic numbers such as Roots and Are we Alright, and a chance for everyone to dance along and create a party atmosphere. Steve and Phil will as usual be joined by bass player Miranda Sykes and young singer songwriter Ruarri (pronounced Rory) Joseph (no relation to Martyn) will be supporting. Ruarri is great, I saw him at Abbotsbury (where else!) He has been described as a British Jack Johnson. There are wheelchair spaces available on the balcony, but no other seating will be available to book in advance. There is comfy seating in the foyer and bar areas of this fantastic new state of the art venue, if you're not sure about standing/dancing all evening long, you can take a breather on a comfy sofa. Don't forget though that Steve and Phil, stand throughout the duration of all their concerts, night after night, so if they can - we should be able to shouldn't we!
Hope some of these dates appeal to you. I'll summarise below. I know you lot all realise the value of this amazing music, because you've come along and joined this list, but please keep spreading the word, I'm certain it is life enhancing and the more people that know about it the better. If you think someone you know could be interested please forward this email or drag them along to a gig, they'll thank you for it.
