Last call for 'Bluegrass in Bloom' at St Julians, Sevenoaks tomorrow (starts 11am, or come earlier for breakfast) - call me if you need more details (07901 733224) or just come along for the fun!  The Cliftonville Little Op'ry are again very kindly running the lunch-time Open-Mike stage, and helping me with the evening concert.  Look forward to seeing you if you can come.

 

Also coming up soon - Surrey Mini-Bluegrass Festival on Aug 6-7, see http://www.surreybluegrass.com/

 

Very best
