Announcement: House filk and concert date confirmed
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).

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.

This date and timing are now confirmed after the nMC have kindly jiggled around their rehearsal timings so that those as wish (a not insignifcant proportion of filk fandom) are able to attend both their rehearsal and the concert and what remains of the housefilk from that point.

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.

In Chicago, at Duckon.
Ah well. I shall see Heather the following weekend at Contata.

Tragic. Poke Anne to get her and James to come?

Ah a pity you won't be there. I was wondering about doing an exchange there. A guitar for a [virtual] wad of notes. :-(

Unless you know someone coming from your area who might bring a *package*?

I'm sure something could be arranged, if we haven't managed to do so beforehand.

Not from the work computer, no. Please feel free to post there yourself, or I'll do it this evening when I get home. Last week's post went in during working hours because I was working from home so had access to both computers.
