Event Description

Yes, it's happening again! This is going to be another top notch happening. Featured performers booked so far - Hollowbelly, Tinqui8 (France), Bluesbeaten Redshaw, plus workshops lead by Chickenbone John & Roosterman. I'm confident that interest and demand is bigger than ever, so I've secured an amazing venue. It's at thePublic, in West Bromwich, West Midlands, (right next door to Birmingham). It's a new arts centre...and we are going to be right at the focus of it for the day.

After last year's event it was obvious that the venue was probably going to be too small...so I've done a lot of looking round, and managed to land this. I've played there several times at jam sessions, so I know the venue, the PA and the sound engineer...

If you missed last year's inaugural event, now's the time to get the date in your diary.

Watch out for more details as ideas and events develop!

Comment by Little Soul Eric on September 14, 2010 at 8:33pm: Out of interest is there plenty of parking spaces ??

Comment by ChickenboneJohn on September 2, 2010 at 12:18am: Daytime starts at 10.00am, evening gig at 8.30pm. Finish will be around 11.30pm...or when it finishes!

I'll see what I can find out about accommodation...as I live here I'm not in the habit of staying at hotels in the area! However, as it's very close to the motorway junction there are the usual Premier Inn/Ramada/Holiday Inns pretty close by.

Comment by Little Soul Eric on September 1, 2010 at 10:46pm: Out of interest what time does the fest kick off and what time will it finish ???
really fancy going, any good b+b`s ????
