Announcement: Housefilk with added concert
There will be a housefilk at our house in Gravesend on Sunday 15th June, commencing at about 12 noon and going on until it stops (not that late as it's a work day the next day).

edit - date is subject to debate as the given date might clash with an nMC rehearsal

This is also expected to include a house concert of an hour's duration by Heather Dale and Ben Deschamps. As the finances of this tour of the UK and Germany are more constrained than usual (a couple of festivals they were counting on have fallen through) there will be a charge for the house concert of £5 a head*. The concert will be at 4 or 5 pm.

Food and drink will be provided but as always you are welcome to make additional contributions. If the weather suits then a barbecue is likely.

Anyone wanting directions please contact me at my LJ name at gmail.com Please note for everyone driving, the junction on the A2 leading to our house may have been closed by then. I will keep you informed on that point.

Please feel free to pass this news on to other members of the UK filk community (and beyond if you think that's likely to cause someone to attend from further afield).

Please comment below or e-mail me if you are likely to attend so I can plan.


*If this charge means you might not be able to attend due to finances please discuss it with me.

I am definitely intending to attend.

You might want to put a late limit on the time since the following day is a workday. I should still be working then so I won't be leaving too late.

Us can has ur brownies plz? *g*

I expect it to be self limiting for this reason. I might also stop because I stand up and say "All right, housefilk over, go home, go home".

Us can haz mi browneez :-)

nMC rehearsal alert! (Unless I've got the date wrong - but I'm sure someone will correct me...)

Poot. It's the date that works best for Ben and Heather. Arg.

Aaargh! Sorry Lissa, I've no idea how I managed to not check that when Ben gave me the dates - I think I was so happy to get definite dates that I only checked my wall calendar before passing them on to you.

I have now checked and don't have anything listed for the 7th.

Meanwhile my ISP's servers are currently in yo-yo mode so filk.co.uk (including that email address) may be unavailable.

Do you have Heather's email address? I have a box of her CDs from her last tour which I need to get back to her near the start of the tour. I did have her address but it seems to have disappeared. Or if you could pass my address on to her (the one you have on the SWiGGLe list is fine) so she can contact me.

Thanks.

Do you need to decide immediately? We have an nMC rehearsal this coming Sunday so we could discuss there moving the nMC rehearsal instead (I don't remember whether there was some reason for picking that date, or it may just have been that it was a month after the previous one).

I don't. I've shot an e-mail to Ben to see if there are any other dates that are possible. I think I was wrong about the 7th being viable anyway, so I might not have a lot of choice. I'll post here when I know what's going on.

Cheers

Whichever date is decided upon I definitely want to come - probably would need to leave straight after Heather and Ben's concert sadly.

We have an nMC rehearsal on Sunday, so we can discuss then - I'm assuming a number of nMC-ers might want to be at the housefilk! :)
