Fishguard is a small harbour town in west Wales, UK. The folk club meet every Tuesday night at the ROYAL OAK pub. The club is having its first Folk Festival on 26-27-28 MAY this year. We could do with all the help we can get from players and singers. we have a theme of Welsh,Irish and English music ( but can also take in US and others!!) Anyone interested can contact us on [e-mail]. All welcome ----we have real ale, a great venue, on the gateway to Ireland (the ferry sails 1 mile away!)

That sounds like a really great idea. Passing through Fishguard on the way to or from the ferry, it's always seemed a great little place, but I've never seen it except at odd times of the night when it's asleeep.

It would make the journey a lot more fun to have a break in the middle, whichever way you were headed. And it could make for some good sessions on the ferry, going both ways. P>

Stick any more information you have on the Mudcat, like possibilities for accommodation and camping and that.

I've put the dates in my diary. It's a bit too far to come for the club, but I could do a day trip. Hwyl, Bron.

Hello, Guy here. I have wonderful memories of Fishguard from my time at Haverfordwest pottery. I used to go up for the day;I had a great Bonnieville 650.... I think I even had one date with a very nice young woman from town.She was very smart to keep it to one date, my beeing a wild American at the time.{Now older and not so wild}..I would recomend this village to anyone from this side of the Atlantic as a beautifull harbor village that is worth the visit.Also not to miss Monk's Haven just down the coast and a place as full of magic as anywhere on earth.WHen Dylan Thomas went to the coast to live was that near Fishguard???? With warmest regards, Guy

And while in town, try to see the Fishguard Tapestry! A tremendous community project which will be a real treasure in the future. (I quite like the Fishguard and Bicentennial sausages that the local butcher is making, too) Fishguard seems to have livened up considerably in recent years!

I shall put the dates down - it will make a nice break!
