Poodle pedal parts do a 9 volt 'Noisy Cricket' Kit (And other interesting projects). They are based in the UK. Seem to now be called Fuzz dog pedal parts!

Hi guys

 

A short while ago I mentioned a possible music event in February 2015.  The venue has now been confirmed and it will take place at The Talbot Inn, Calne SN11 0AR on 14th and 15th Feb.  The music will run through the late afternoon and evening on Saturday.

 

On Sunday we will kick off with our regular afternoon open mic session from about 4 p.m. and carry on with featured acts in the evening.

 

It is not exclusively a CBG event but will feature a range of musical styles, local and not so local musicians.

 

Unfortunately the venue does not have sleeping accommodation but if there are enough people wanting a room I will try to negotiate a block deal at a hotel up the road (probably The Lansdowne).  Alternatively you will be allowed to sleep in campers etc in the rear car park with access to the toilet facilities throughout the night and a reasonably priced breakfast will be available on Sunday morning. The pub will cater for food and hot beverages throughout Saturday and Sunday.

 

Chickenbone John has expressed an interest in running one of his workshops on Sunday prior to the open mic session and that will be accommodated in the pool room prior to the open mic session.

 

I have a couple of CBG people interested in playing so please comment here or email me on bryan.folklaw@btinternet.com for more info and/or to book a slot, whether as a featured act and/or open mic session. I will be mixing and matching the line up to ensure it is as varied as possible for the punters.

 

Do get in touch if you want to play or just come along and be part of the event and please share this so we reach as many people as possible.  Best wishes,  Bryan
