Bring pegs for the music and stands. Below is the relevant info I received from the organiser…..

If you could please arrive at least 30min before the start of your set.  We provide PA, mics, stands, DIs and basic backline if required (Drums, bass and guitar amp). 
Site address: St Andrew’s Square,  KT6 4. 
It is a short walk from the station and there is some parking available around the square which is free on Sundays.  (I wouldn’t rely on there being any parking spaces around the square, Chris)
Schedule: 
14.00/14.30: Ariana Brophy 
14.40/15.10: TBC
15.10/15.30: Sword Dancing 
15.30/16.00: Procession 
16.00/16.15: Story telling 
16.15/17.00: Guitar and Uke Orchestra 
I did ask what their provision was for rain and she said ‘We do have a gazebo that we can put over the stage as it isn’t covered. It’s quite low so we only put it up if really necessary. If the weather really takes a turn to the worst early on we may reconvene in The Lamb‘ (The Lamb is a nearby Pub)

Gig news and next session….

Hi all, we are booked to play 30 to 45 mins at the Seething Wells Festival in Surbiton on Sunday March 3rd. The time is to be confirmed but it will be somewhere between 2 and 5.
