Hello Everyone
This is my last chance of any internet for a few days so I just wanted to let you know that I've been tucked away in a lovely hotel room in Banbury for the past few days working hard to make sure the Folk in the Barn website is fully updated and all booking links are active. It's finally done - Hooray! You can now book online for all the 2016 Autumn Winter concerts, and of course direct from me at the gigs, by cash or cheque, once the season starts.
You can find the whole Gig Diary HERE.....
www.folkinthebarn.co.uk/Whatsnewinfo.aspx?id=164 Hope you like what we've got in store. Each page has full event and artist details, clips and booking links.

The whole thing kicks off on 11th September with the wonderful Richard Digance at the Gulbenkian along with the extraordinarily multi-talented annA rydeR. For those that are missing Cropredy or those who'd like to re-live that special Saturday lunchtime spot, this will be your chance.

Fotheringay
You may have heard the terrible news that Jerry Donahue suffered a stroke last week and is very poorly. There are regular updates on his progress on facebook and as soon as we know more we'll let you know. Meanwhile the band have decided to carry on in his absence. He is of course irreplaceable, but PJ Wright will be stepping up to fill those parts that only Jerry can play, in his own excellent style and we hope that Fotheringay fans will continue to support the other members of the band at this difficult and worrying time. As Gerry Conway said to me yesterday, it is after all about those wonderful songs.

We're about to be evicted from this room so will shortly be heading over to the Cropredy site in readiness for the exciting festival weekend ahead. I'm told there are still some tickets available if anyone decides to be spontaneous and fancies trying what many say is the best weekend of their lives. www.fairportconvention.com/ It's a fantastic line-up including Canterbury favourites Coco and the Butterfields.

I know some of you are coming up for the first time and also many who are already regulars. The weather forecast is looking fantastic and the camp sites all in excellent condition. Look forward to seeing you around and about (at the Bar). I'll be heading to the Brasenose on Saturday to see Gerry Colvin who is playing as part of the fringe, so come and say hi. You'd have to miss Richard Digance, but of course you can see him in Sept to make up for that ha ha!

If you're not coming up for Crops there is of course wonderful Broadstairs Folk Week to keep you very happy and entertained. We managed to grab a few hours there on Saturday and loved the new layout at the Marquee Bar area. Some lovely music coming up too. Wish I could be in two places at once. Do go if you've never been.

Have a great rest of the Summer, hope the sun continues to shine, and see you back at the Gulbenkian in September.

Bye for now

Debs
