Hi, Does anybody know of any events in the West Wales area in the next few weeks/months? I live about 5 miles south of the university town of Lampeter or 12 miles east of the coastal town of Aberaeron. Would appreciate any information that you have  Brian |

Hi Brian
Have you tried contacting the university ? They nearly always have a music club or section.
Worth a try perhaps

Hi Pete,
Thanks for the thought I am working there at the SU on Thursday evening doing a gig for the Welsh youth orchestra so I will ask at the SU bar. I think however that the only association that the university has with Folk music is at the Cwmann Tavern on at Thursday night in Cwmann.
Will let you know.
Brian

Get the sods involved Brian, what else have thet got to do?
Jokes aside, start a folk club, and see what happens! nothing to lose, maybe lots to gain.
good luck mate

Hi Pete,
Asked at the SU bar last night and as I suspected the uni itself does not have a folk club they go to the Cwmann Tavern on a Thursday. The problem we have in this area is one of shortage of people. Lampeter itself whilst having the second oldest university is the UK I think it is one of the smallest and has just amalgamated with Trinity university in Carmarthen to cut costs as it was in danger of closing. I would guess that the student population in the town is under 400 and the town itself boasts a population of only about 3000. One of the reasons for joining this forum was to see if there were any banjo players living close by me so that we could arrange regular meets in a suitable venue but thus far I have had no takers. Besides myself I know of only two local other players Phil who lives in my village and is about my standard very much at the beginners stage and a guy named Andy who sometimes plays at the Cwmann. Next time I go to the club I will talk to Andy if he is there and talk to him about setting something up. So if there are any other people out there who are interested in setting something up within lets say a 20 mile radius of Lampeter then it would be appreciated if they would make contact to see what we can do. So come on anybody out there lets see if we can get anything together .
Brian
