Hi Barbara
I think you are in the Sunset Bar between 1 and 2.30 on the Saturday at Lowender Peran? We (Tros an Treys) are on too, but we are going to be performing in the street after the procession as well, so it would be far the best for us if we could go on at the end of the Sunset session. Don't know how to contact ...Hedra or Mo Keast, but is that ok with you?

Mike O'Connor and Barbara Griggs Cornish Music workshop, suitable for any instrumentalists, or anyone just interested in lovely music from a little explored culture. Mike plays fiddle and anglo, Barbara plays lever harp. The music is just gorgeous. In the evening Mike & Barbara play at Lewes Saturday Folk Club, and on Sunday Mike runs a songwriting workshop.
Cornwall comes to Sussex!
