My guess at Blakeney would be Norfolk - the venue (Harbour Room) rather gives it away.....  It is indeed Blakeney on the North Norfolk coast - I'd guess the Harbour Room is probably at the Manor which is,strangely enough, in close proximity to the harbour. The other option is the Blakeney Hotel which is v. posh. Steve |

....
Now - which gig(s) to go to? Chipping Norton will be good as the first one and it's not a huge journey; I've never been to the 100 Club before, sounds posh; Finchley's the closest to me; Grays is possible; Newbury is just feasible. Hmmm. Think I'll see which one(s) are getting a good group from here...
....
I settled on the Finchley gig and booked this morning (on the fourth row). After a couple of painful experiences at the Half Moon (physically not acoustically) Martin K and myself preferred the certainty of getting a seat. As I understand it the 100 Club (which would have been closest for me by far) does not have very many seats, and they're not bookable. SteveK |

I have to say that that report is one of the most confused I've ever read. Still, the chaps are in the news, which is good, but the quality of the reporting is low, which is bad.

Yikes! Anyone wishing to come to the gig at Chipping Norton Theatre on Saturday 29th October best get a wriggle on. General booking opened this morning and there are currently only 34 seats left. That's right folks, 34. Box Office is 01608 642350 or you can now book online at www.chippingnortontheatre.co.ukDon't forget also that Rainbow Chasers will be appearing on Saturday 14th January. Tickets are a bargain at £10/£8 concessions. See you there! Boatgirl |

I had one hell of a job getting 4 tickets for the Chippy Norton show - I still don't know if I've ended up with seats in row B or row K (I kept asking for the former when given the choice but I'm not convinced that I made that clear enough  ) |

AmyJen Thanks for the offer, but it looks like it's logistically impossible with work committments - and the amount of other gigs I seem to have planned for the autumn I'll review it nearer the time, hoping it's not a sell-out |

If anyone is interested, Simon and Ric will be playing at a fundraising event at Chipping Norton Lido this Sunday (11th Sept). The event is to launch Emma's Trust, a charity set up in memory of a local girl, Emma Curtis-Smith, to help young people realise their ambitions to work in sports and the arts. King Pleasure & The Biscuit Boys are also performing, and there are loads of other activities and workshops throughout the day. Tickets for the evening concert are £20, with proceeds going to Emma's Trust. For details visit www.emmastrust.com |

There are also VIP tickets (to include champagne!) for £40. Shame I can't make it.

Time to bring this back to the top.... I notice that the European tour has had at least one extra date in Germany added. Check out the websiteKoen - it's the day after yours, so they won't be staying for lunch.... |

Just back from a weekend in North Norfolk - posters for the Blakeney gig all over the place!
To clear up confusion from my earlier post - Harbour Rooms are the new Britsih Legion function rooms at the top of the High Street for those that know Blakeney - very smart from the outside and apparently home to a recently established folk club.
Now how do we get from Chippy on Saturday to Blakeney on Sunday......................

Now how do we get from Chippy on Saturday to Blakeney on Sunday...... I was thinking the self-same thing. It helps that I have friends slightly further up the coast, but it's a Sunday evening.... But I'd probably split the fuel costs if you were up for driving. The lads have to, so it can't be too bad! |

Looks like the Mansfield one is about the clossest to me & I'm actually off work. Though it is the night before I'm supposed to be out doing a gig myself with the new band (not the one in my website). God, but I hate Mansfield though Though not as much as the alternative which is Negotiating Birmingham Traffic. |

Also to attempt a potted history of FC without mentioning Cropredy is a bit weird! Paul |
