From Marylyn 

Very sad news...due to circumstances beyond their control the King Charles pub is closed and Paul and Bill are no longer there :(

I thank them from the bottom of my heart for their kindness, generosity and support to Freeplay over the years and wish them well with many happy days ahead. The music and the magic still flows and a very special thank you also to Taff, landlord Nicholas Ward and Seonagh @ The Spotted Cow on the quay for offering Freeplay a new home...we will be there 20 May (and every 3rd Sunday as usual) 7-9pm with Taff's guitar workshop happening after @ 9pm. Freeplay Ezine out soon if you want to be on our mailing list please let Pete know (pdfreeplay@live.co.uk) please let anyone you know who may be interested in Freeplay re change of venue...cheers Mx

Wow we are now into our 3rd year of both the eZine and the website! Brilliant work from all those involved. 

To celebrate we got the Velvet Underground to reform (see left). Well it looks like the Velvet Underground from all those shades. 

Ok it was Freeplayers busking on the Poole Quayside in the March heat (remember that?), in aid of "Help for Heroes".

I think your author wins the the shiniest forehead competition!!
