FIDDLEBOP NEWSLETTER 6 (26 MARCH 2013)
Hi there! Spring-time (yes, really) greetings to you! We hope that the sun is shining when you read this :-)
Here, direct to your inbox, is the sixth FiddleBop newsletter. Written on a train on the way to Essex, which is a first, for FiddleBop at least. This time, we've quite a few new gigs in the future gig list. Which is good! However we'd hoped to have some recording done by the time this newsletter was sent, but we are still waiting to start this. More next time...
That's all for now, except to say that if the late-arriving spring and the continued gloomy news headlines get you down, then come along to a FiddleBop gig and bop yourself happy! But always remember to check the gig listing on the FiddleBop website (/gigs.html) before setting out, since we've recently had cancellations when pubs have closed down at very short notice. The website list is always kept up to date.
Finally, we hope that you like receiving these newsletters. If not, email us at info@fiddlebop.org.
All the best! See you at a gig soon! :-)
