Welcome to this week’s slightly short Dreamers Newsletter. First of all, many thanks to Lynn for a great evening last Sunday and to Jim, making up “No Riff Raff” when he joined her for a very different second half.  A very varied evening which seemed to be hugely enjoyed by all. Thanks too to the Penzance regulars who joined us for the session. Lynn is, of course, a regular at Dreamers now but also at Penzance Folk Club so...

When the clouds opened into a huge downpour at Truro Station, we knew we were back in Cornwall! I hear last week’s guests, The Bray Family, gave all those who were there a great evening which is good to hear. Some singers nights to come now before our next guest on 15th March, our...

Thanks to all. We have another singers night this coming Sunday, 8th February, followed by the visit of our next guests, The Bray Family Band, on 15th February. The band comes from Padstow...

Hi and welcome to a short Newsletter this week. There’s not a lot going on until we get more into February so we are dependent on our own resources – nothing wrong with that if we can have evenoings like last Sunday’s at Dreamers – many thanks to Alistair not only for his performances and songs but also for all the work of preparation which must have been involved. Thanks too to Ruth for guiding us through a busy evening. Thanks also...
