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 ChickenboneJohn on March 19, 2010 at 10:55pm: This event is open to anyone whatsoever...as long as they buy a ticket (or pay on the door).

I won't have details about tickets for a few weeks, as I don't meet with the venue management until 6th April, so not sure if tickets will be on sale via me or the venue. As soon as this is sorted I will update you all. I'm being pretty ambitious with this year's event...so watch out for further details of what's going to be happening and who's on.
