Folk News 21st-27th August

It's summer, so if you're thinking of travelling any appreciable distance, check before setting-out that the event is on (although City Folk Club , Lewes Saturday, Woodies, Chichester Folk Song Club, the Ropetackle and The Willows are as certain-as-can-be).  I've not heard the band 'Summer Break', but they seem to have a lot of bookings at this time of year (tee-hee).
