Sunday concert in the park

Dave Hirst, without 50p for the meter

At the Bothy singaround last night, I heard the interesting news that that there will be a free afternoon folk concert in Southport featuring a number of local folk and acoustic artists. It’s being organised by Dave Hirst who performs both as a solo artist and as part of the band, Misery Guts. I’ve enjoyed watching Dave perform in the Mount Pleasant and the Park Golf Club in Southport - both with the band and solo -  and he has also played in Liverpool and on local radio.

It will take place close to the café area in Hesketh Park, which can be seen on the top right corner of this map (by Albert Road and Park Crescent), on Sunday 2 September between 2.00 and 5.00 p.m. If you fancy a drink or a meal before or afterwards, the Imperial Hotel (a real ale pub, marked on the map) on Albert Road is a few minutes' walk from the park gates.

Regrettably I can't make it as I'll be at Fylde Folk Festival on that day.
