“At last a holiday, a week away. So from Monday heading for Aberystwyth, Lampeter, Carmarthen and Hafordfordwest. Let's hope it brightens up for busking. Of course RED our Welsh Collie will be on the pitch looking for a bitch.”

“Good news. We're commencing an original singer song poetry artist forum from Tuesday 10th of May in the basement of the Prince of Wales in Llangollen from 8pm. Please bring original creativity. Musicians who might like to accompany are welcome. Depending on attendance, you may get to perform three or four times. There will be no PA. 8 - 10pm. FREE”

“Feeling more confident. Thanks for the encouragement of those who have heard and approached whilst I have been busking around Oswestry, Wrexham, Chester, Aberystwyth and as from this Sunday, Barmouth, there on. New songs can't be forced but appreciating experience can help us celebrate and empathise with one another.”

“Fantastic weekend with The Folk On The Lawn at Tintern Mill. Enjoyed hearing and seeing 16 other mostly original artists playing an eclectic fusion. Thanks to those who filled the bar and enjoyed avoiding watching Germany stuff England.”

“Stephen Shelley of now 'Spitting In The Wind' would like to invite you to a free original folk family festival. Folk on the lawn (and bar) takes place at Abbey Mill (Tintern Abbey) 12 - 6pm on Sat 26th and Sun 27th of June.”

“Presenty collating songs and seeking musicians to accompany, dare I say of a jazzy folk style. e mail poppycoch@live.co.uk”
