Thinking about it, I know a venue where we may well be able to start a new cbg festival. Big pub with plenty of floor space and a stage out in the beer garden. When they do events they usually even have a bbq or hog roast. If we looked at starting a cbg & roots music festival there would anyone be interested in playing?

A house festival? Hmm.. I wonder if I can fit a sleeping bag in my box?

Don't worry fellers it won't happen again, cuz as soon I start playing the guys house will probably be knocked down from the inside as people try to escape the racket ;-)

One of the guys holds a festival in his house. Bug plays there every year. It's free to get in , but twenty quid to get out!  ;)

If it's July, I have holidays around then.

There's usually one in Cambridge in the summer.Beamuzic will know it as she often plays there...

I'm from Birmingham if you organise one count me in hopefully I will learn to play it by then.

If not, maybe we should start planning together and organising 1 or 12 around the country. One somewhere near Shropshire/Staffordshire would be nice. ;)

Hi Fom ! Yay my laptop is back in action - phones are eyeball melters ! .... I have been wondering about this too... Do we have such a thing as CBG festivals in the UK?

Hey guys, when's and where's the next CGB festival?
