If you didn't already know, Tamworth Bluegrass Festival is on this coming weekend, from Thursday 13th June 'til Monday 17th. It is being held at Bolehall Manor Club, Amington Rd, Tamworth, B77 3LH. The festival starts 'proper' on Friday, with the first concert at 7:00pm.
However, there will be picking session(s) in the bar and other rooms in the clubhouse, on Thursday evening. The admission for all for that night, just £2, to be put into the Jessie's Fund collecting box (our nominated charity). We are also appealing for donations of prizes for the charity raffle too, so, if you're coming along, try and find something to donate.
I hope to see y'all there.

	Debs says: 6/9/2013 12:20:56 PM This sounds fantastic - it's a shame (for me) that it isn't being held a fortnight later when we'll be in the area. If it's a regular event I'll put in the diary for next year! Hope you all have great fun!
	daveteague says: 6/9/2013 12:24:00 PM This is the first one Debs and we intend for it to be an annual event. Watch this space
