This just in from June Rowlands of Kimpton:
I’m doing a SLOW JAM in Kimpton on November 3rd in Dacre Rooms from 2-4pm for teens and adults who play any instrument to learn a folk tune from scratch with no music or previous skills…
Just to say that Issue 144 of Unicorn Magazine (October, November & December 2018) is now out! It is instantly available online as a downloadable / readable PDF from the usual places (our website, ISSUU etc), and the hard copies should be being distributed now.
Please note that for the best and most reliable user experience, we recommend that when possible you download the PDF to your machine and view it that way, rather than trying to view it directly online via a browser etc.
Please also remember to sign up to our mailing list and read this blog for amends in between issues… For example, there is already an amend necessary to the printed version of 144 … For The Chesham Folk Dance Club (CFDC) event on Sunday 7th (featured in The Shall We Dance on page 10) we ommitted to include the venue details – please see these full details as below:
This just in from Bedford Folk Dance Club:
Please find attached a poster for BFDC Autumn Dance. You may already have a poster but the event is approaching fast and the club would be grateful if you could bring the dance to the notice of your club members and friends who may wish to attend and would be most welcome.

This just in from Watford Folk Club:
Unfortunately due to circumstances out of our control, Ange Hardy has cancelled her booking with us on 14th September.
Here is her announcement:
September 7th 2018
It’s with a very, very heavy heart that I have to announce that I’ve had to cancel all currently scheduled gigs and performances for 2018/2019.
If you’re a promoter or booker then you should have received, or be receiving, an email from Fancourt Music.
If you’ve already brought tickets for an upcoming concert then I’m sure individual venues and promoters will be in touch to offer options for refunds or alternative arrangements.
If you’re either of the above and want to contact me directly, please feel free.
Unfortunately Fancourt Music have made the decision that they are no longer able to represent me for live bookings. The result is that I’m simply unable to continue with any of my scheduled dates. I feel broken. I can’t get on stage and perform feeling like that, and I’m so, so sorry to those I’m letting down. Mental health has to come first, and to that end we’ve had to take the decision to simply draw an immediate line.
I hope that Ant Miles and I will remain friends after the dust has settled.
I’m going to use the next 12-18 months to spend time with my family. I shall continue to write songs and play tunes. I may even record them. I might write that book I’ve been talking about. I’ve got a completely finished live album that I’ll try to release… but for now, “Ange Hardy” is hanging up her touring boots. I’m going to concentrate on being Angela Swan for a while.
Ange x
We will now be having one of our “Legendary Singarounds” on the 14th and look forward to seeing you.
Thanks for your understanding.
Watford Folk Club”
