Deal Maritime Folk Fest 2010 - We are Driftwooded out!

What a great weekend ! So many acts and great music throughout Deal this last weekend. We reckon there was about 100 performers (there were a lot of dancers on saturday) all doing their stuff for free.

Sue is busy building her own 3 string Nuru Bass after a pretty amazing concert at the Astor with Nuru Kane & the BFG.

A massive thank you for all of you who supported us at our eight sessions - especial thanks to Pat & Lin from London, the lovely Lynda, Jan & Peter for the photos, raffle & support... We totally enjoyed all the sessions we caught - what a lot of talent there is in Deal & Kent!

Blean Woods Benefit 11th Sept

The new Driftwood lineup
Driftwood had a great day playing at the Blean Woods Fest for the Kent Wildlife Trust down at Strode Park in Herne - Bottles, Adrian O and the Whitstable Hoodeners were on the billl. ( as too were some very large vikings, wooden horse and a dancing badger - did I mention the rather strong ale they had there ?) ...

A really enjoyable day we did a hour set and then spent a couple of hours busking to small groups of the public ... we even did 'Manchester Rambler' for the Rambers Stall!


Our Photos will be here
