The 2014 Canalised festival was a real success, and I’m sure 2015’s will be even better!

I have another request here and a bit of a plug from The Clayhanger Kid himself – Brian Stringer – who is again organising the Brownhills Canalside Festival for 2015, this year taking place on Sunday 28th June.

Brian is now sorted for musical entertainment, following a tremendous response to a request for acts here on the blog – you guys really did us proud, there.

Brian is currently looking for fresh stalls and attractions for the popular festival to compliment the regulars. You could be a crafter,  selling bric-a-brac, or exhibiting your artwork or other collection. Maybe you’re a charity, or local business who’d like to reach out to a lot of people quickly and easily?

Hi Bob,

I’m on the earhole again!

We need some fresh stalls at the canal festival this year as well as the regulars, so I wondered if an appeal on the blog would bring a few extra in?

For anyone selling stuff to raise funds it’s only £15 per pitch, or to stage an exhibition of your work or collection it’s free.

Anyone interested need only fill in a form which can be obtained by calling 01543 361144 or contact me and I’ll sort it.

It may be a bit early to plug the canal festival but I thought I’d put you in the picture so you can give it a go when you feel ready.

Thanks to the blog all the stage acts are now confirmed and the programme looks like this:

10 am.                       Official opening.
10-10 am.                 Brownhills spotlight group.
11 am.                       Wildfire Folk from Lichfield.
12 noon.                   Dr Brian Dakin with his Black country songs
and monologues.
12-30 pm.                Ukulele band from Aldridge.
2-00pm -2.45pm.  Anker Valley Boys from Tamworth.
3- 15 — 4pm           Anker Valley Boys.

Entertainment – Magic, Ballon art, and facepainting from Will. E Droppit who will be accompanied by Minnie and Mickey Mouse.

Ring 01543 361144 or me direct at 01543 821539.

Thanks,
Brian
