Welcome to the virtual homestead of the Rumney Folk Festival! Now in its 2nd year, the festival is situated in a small village suburb of Cardiff, which plays host to a special lil' folk club in St. Augustine's church hall every month. Rumney Folk Club produces a candle lit atmosphere, a diverse range of musicians and a relaxed crowd, with varying tastes and appreciations regardless of the performers skill or age (a few people have made their first public performances here).
Rumney Folk Festival 08 was a triumph for the club; a well supported event (despite the weather) raising a lot of money for its chosen charity, the St. Augustine's Parish Church Restoration Fund.
For 2009, the festival is set to be quite a hit, with the inclusion of a village market outside the hall and instrument workshops inside St Augustine's Church; an 11th century building with some amazing acoustics.
Admission to the festival is a mere £5, including a full days entertainment, a licensed bar, bbq, demonstrations/displays, a raffle, merch. stall, church & bell tower open day, the village market and workshops. It's a perfect way to end the summer in Rumney....heck, in Cardiff!
We'll see you there! Saturday 5th September, doors 11:30AM.

Talisman Sounds Open Mic Session - Beatles Special Edition at Varsity Roath
8pm Monday 30th November 2009
"It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play"
Well it was actually 40 years ago this month that the Beatles officially split up, and to mark the event Talisman Sounds will be holding the Talisman Sounds Open Mic Session - Beatles Special Edition at Varsity Roath
Following on from the success of last month's Noon Song Contest when the Cotton Pickers impressed the judges with their rendition of Sittin' On Top Of The World, performers are invited to join in the challenge again - so anyone performing a Lennon and McCartney (or George or Ringo - but Yoko is banned!) song will be in with a shout of going home with the bottle of fizz.
And to round off the evening, we'll be having a mass busk & singalong to some of the mop-top's finest: Hey Jude, Let It Be, I Saw Her Standing There.

After you've finished here, you may like to hear this folk-carol on myspace... Poem 230 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (see my blog for details): CHRISTMAS SUNG SIMPLY
As gospellers have said, Beneath signalling skies, On land dusty to tread, A trough in a stable Was the strawy first-bed Of a divine baby - The forgiving Godhead.
A season for new hope - There then and here now; The yuletide of goodwill - There then and here now.
In respect of this chance, Beneath bright or dark skies, Faith's the star that we glance Attending Christ's churches And trying to enhance, With singing and ritual, Our God-loving stance.
