Busking at the festival.


As in previous years we are looking for enthusiastic mucisians  to busk on
the Pier during the festival, this helps raise funds, cover the buskers
expenses ( and meybe even make them some money :-) and most importantly
create the festival "atmosphere". Small groups of instrumentalists work
particularly well, then sounds of squeeze boxes and violins carry very well
up and down the pier, but any one can give it a try.

The festival daytime events take place on 

Saturday 25th August - Folk
Sunday 26th August - Folk
Monday 27th August - Blues

There is an obvious tendancy for blues player to play the blues day and
folkies on the folk days but there is no reason why there can't be 
crossover, in fact any form of music is welcome.

If you are interested please email the busking coordinator at

busker@barkingspider.abelgratis.com 

we'll then send you details of how to register, nothing to formal we just
need to keep track of who's where.

(After thought you needn't play an instrument, unacompanied singers etc
would also be welcome).
