I was just chatting with another mum about how nice it would be to be able to buy an ice cream in the summer or a cup of tea, slice of cake or a cup of hot soup or Bovril maybe in inclement weather at the recreation ground. Obviously there are the lovely Hospice of Hope and Willow Tea rooms cafes in the village and I wouldn't want to see those put out of business, but I think a small booth, with a limited range, could serve people using the rec who may have different requirements to those who want a light meal and a sit down at one of the established cafes.

I wonder has anyone ever put such a proposal to the landowners (Sevenoaks Council?) or to the Parish Council before? I know an ice cream van comes once a week to the car park in the summer months, but do people have any thoughts on there being a more permament fixture?

If it were me running it (pipedream) I would serve ice cream in twist cones - some nice brand like Minghella's or Kelly's, home made cakes and buns, Twinings teas, Illy coffee, and soup and beef tea in colder weather. I've just made myself hungry writing that. ]]> Otford Deborah Harrison http://www.7oaks.info/forum/showthread.php?589-Refreshment-booth-on-the-Recreation-Ground <![CDATA[Beatles & Abba together in Sevenoaks?]]> http://www.7oaks.info/forum/showthread.php?588-Beatles-amp-Abba-together-in-Sevenoaks&goto=newpost Mon, 06 Sep 2010 16:39:31 GMT The two greatest bands together for one night only

Sevenoaks District Seniors Action Forum (SDSAF) will hold its launch and first AGM on Friday 1 October, in the Plaza room of the Stag in Sevenoaks, from 3.30-5pm.

The Forum will represent the concerns of those aged 50+ with the providers of services and facilities they care about, and campaign for improvements. Exploratory meetings this spring in Swanley, Edenbridge and Sevenoaks identified a lot of interest, and an initial list of issues (quite a few!) about which older people are concerned, such as transport, health, shops, local facilities, the environment.

Anyone aged 50 or above anywhere in our District – from Edenbridge to Hartley, Hextable to Leigh and all towns and villages between – is welcome to join (no cost). An interim committee of volunteers has been doing preparatory work, but anyone can put herself or himself forward to serve on the substantive committee to be appointed at the AGM.

No need to book, just come along on 1 October It is International Day of the Older Person, and Age UK Sevenoaks will be running a programme in the Plaza room throughout the day, so you could catch some of that too. Refreshments available. Parking adjacent and nearby (all pay+display).

Have mobility problems and need help with transport? Contact Merilyn in Sevenoaks 01732 461397 or Peter in Swanley 01322 663076.
General enquiries to Roger Bryan, interim chairman, on 01322 664754 or 07913 744561 mobile.

The Forum is supported by Age UK Sevenoaks, Voluntary Action Within Kent, West Kent Housing, and Sevenoaks District Council ; with funding support from Kent County Council. ]]> Sevenoaks District Seniors Action Forum steveplater http://www.7oaks.info/forum/showthread.php?587-New-voice-for-the-over-50s Brandywine Music Gig List http://www.7oaks.info/forum/showthread.php?586-Brandywine-Music-Gig-List&goto=newpost Thu, 02 Sep 2010 13:12:15 GMT Wow, is it really two weeks since I wrote to you good people last!

Well, here we are in September, so I guess the best thing to do to start with will be to give you a quick round-up of all the great gigs we have for you this month........

JOHN OTWAY & WILD WILLY BARRETT
Otway & Barrett share a unique place in British music, there's really no-one like them. Songwriting skills, musicianship, humour, great stage presence, between them they have it all. Their gigs together are few and far between and this one is the last for the foreseeable future. I can only repeat that you'd be bonkers to miss it!! It's THIS SATURDAY, so this is the last call for tickets.
OTWAY & BARRETT THE ROCK PLAZA, SEVENOAKS SATURDAY 4 SEPTEMBER TICKETS £14.00

SAM CARTER
Please do stir your stumps and come along and see this wonderful, talented, young singer-songwriter, definitely a rising star. His guitar playing is exemplary and backs some very finely crafted songs. With tickets at less than a tenner, this is a steal, especially as you can avail yourself of the excellent real ale in The Crown at the same time. All you folk fans mustn't miss it!
SAM CARTER THE CROWN, OTFORD FRIDAY 10 SEPTEMBER TICKETS ONLY £9.00

RICHARD DIGANCE
Anyone who saw his set at Cropredy will know why Digance is such a legend. To captivate the crowd as he did in the pouring rain is no mean feat. One of the funniest and yet one of the most perceptive and sensitive guys on the planet, he can take you from uproarious laughter to tears in a trice. If you've not yet got tickets for this one, do yourself a favour and book now. You definitely won't regret it!!
RICHARD DIGANCE THE STAG THEATRE, SEVENOAKS FRIDAY 17 SEPTEMBER TICKETS £15.00

THINK FLOYD
The top Pink Floyd tribute in the UK in a setting that will do the music full justice. Think Floyd's repertoire covers the full range of the original band, from the Barrett years to the Division Bell and everything in between. They play with great acccomplishment and are supported by a fantastic light show. You'd have to be a crazy diamond to miss this one.
THINK FLOYD BLACKHEATH HALLS, BLACKHEATH SATURDAY 18 SEPTEMBER TICKETS £16.00

THE ELEVATORS
Coming from the great British blues-rock tradition, The Elevators are supremely professional in their approach without losing any of the emotion associated with the genre. Not afraid to nod in the direction of modernists such as Robert Cray, their electric style rightly makes them one of the most exciting blues bands playing live in the UK today. This will be a great night of electric blues!
THE ELEVATORS THE ROCK PLAZA, SEVENOAKS FRIDAY 24 SEPTEMBER TICKETS £10.00

ROBIN TROWER
Ace 70's guitar hero - branded 'the white Hendrix' by the press at the time - comes to Otford with his unique style of playing, and in a powerhouse trio. Definitely the smallest gig on the tour (he's playing Shepherds Bush Empire the previous week!), this is a chance to see a guitar legend up close and personal. Tickets selling fast so get in quickly!
ROBIN TROWER THE SOUNDHOUSE, OTFORD SATURDAY 25 SEPTEMBER TICKETS £17.00

THE CURST SONS
Our first Flying Burrito Club presentation of the new season, the Curst Sons have recently been nominated as the 'Best Americana Band' in the British Country Music Awards. Their unique take on American traditional music mixes Blues, Gospel and Bluegrass with a kick-ass stomp and a dose of wry humour, which "stays true to American folk music’s rich lineage, while throwing in enough curve balls to **** off the folk puritanicals". - Americana UK.
THE CURST SONS THE FLYING BURRITO CLUB, SEVENOAKS THURSDAY 30 SEPTEMBER TICKETS £9.00

OK, and here's an even quicker look at what's happening in the busy month of October.......

The six-piece Gift Band backing the duo live includes Martin Carthy, Saul Rose and other luminaries of the folk scene. Great music, a great band, in a really terrific new venue, this is going to be one hell of a night!! Tickets sure to go fast. (Sorry, I know this isn't brief but I really am excited by this one!)
WATERSON & CARTHY THE OWG CENTRE, DARTFORD WEDNESDAY 20 OCTOBER TICKETS £18.00

WALTER TROUT & THE RADICALS
Walter Trout's compelling music resides in a territory that unites the worlds of blues, rock and pure sonic adventurism, where inspiration and technique meet to create a unique, soulful language. One of the very, very best live blues-rock guitarists you will ever see.
WALTER TROUT THE STAG THEATRE, SEVENOAKS FRIDAY 22 OCTOBER TICKETS £14.50

BRAVADO: A TRIBUTE TO RUSH

Saint Peter is checking ID's at the Pearly Gates, and first comes a Texan. "Tell me, what have you done in life?" says St. Peter.
The Texan says, "Well, I struck oil, so I became rich, but I didn't sit on my laurels -- I divided all my money among my entire family in my will, so our descendants are all set for about three generations." St. Peter says, "That's quite something. Come on in. Next!" The second guy in line has been listening, so he says, "I struck it big in the stock market, but I didn't selfishly just provide for my own like that Texan guy. I donated five million to Save the Children." "Wonderful!" says Saint Peter. "Come in. Who's next?" The third guy has been listening, and says timidly with a downcast look, "Well, I only made five thousand dollars in my entire lifetime." "Heavens!" says St. Peter. "What instrument did you play?"
St. Peter's still checking ID's. He asks a man, "What did you do on Earth?" The man says, "I was a doctor." St. Peter says, "Ok, go right through those pearly gates. Next! What did you do on Earth?" "I was a school teacher." "Go right through those pearly gates. Next! And what did you do on Earth?" "I was a musician." "Go around the side, up the freight elevator, through the kitchen..."
Hmmm, not sure about quick, its been a bit of a long one this time around! Sorry about that! I hope you've made it this far and have found a gig or two along the way that you fancy coming along to, to make it worthwhile.

I feel very sorry for all those festival-goers who have had to endure the vagaries of the British weather - including me! But Cropredy was worth braving the rain for some very fine music indeeed! Some of which I'm hoping will find its way to our little corner of the world in the future....

But let's look forward to September, here's a quick run-down of everything happening during the month:-

JOHN OTWAY & WILD WILLY BARRETT
Otway & Barrett outings are so rare - and this is the last one for the foreseeable future - that you really can't afford to miss out. The duo are so versatile and comfortable on stage, one minute playing the fool, the next playing a wonderful sensitive ballad, moving from one extreme to the other with effortless ease and playing some superb songs along the way. I can honestly say that, in my opinion, this is one of the best live club acts you'll ever see. If you've not experienced an Otway & Barrett gig before, please do take my recommendation, you won't be disappointed! A seated event.
JOHN OTWAY & WILD WILLY BARRETT THE ROCK PLAZA, SEVENOAKS SATURDAY 4 SEPTEMBER TICKETS £14.00

SAM CARTER
One of a number of impressive new, young singer-songwriters bursting on to the scene, Sam Carter's guitar playing and songwriting belie his years. Often likened to a young John Martyn (what better accolade could he have than that!) his complex guitar work aids rather than hinders the skill and ingenuity of his songs. "It hardly seems fair that someone so young and with so much time to improve is already so damn good." - The Irish World. To see an upcoming artist like this in a small intimate setting will be a treat indeed. A seated event.
SAM CARTER THE CROWN, OTFORD FRIDAY 10 SEPTEMBER TICKETS £9.00

RICHARD DIGANCE
Who else could get 20,000 people morris dancing to a morris version of Bohemian Rhapsody? Or providing the nautical sound effects to his own version of Local Hero? Richard Digance has that rare ability to make you laugh out loud at one minute and cry the next. His songs range from the outright comic to the most poignant, with a wry look at society in between, and he has turned nostalgia into an art form. Always delivered with panache and style, in his own unique manner, a Richard Digance gig is a night not to be missed! A seated event.
RICHARD DIGANCE THE STAG THEATRE, SEVENOAKS FRIDAY 17 SEPTEMBER TICKETS £15.00

THINK FLOYD
There's little to be said that hasn't already been done so about this band. Widely regarded as the UK's number one tribute to Pink Floyd, their musical pedigree is excellent, their repertoire encompasses the whole range of classic Pink Floyd from the Barrett years, through Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here, to The Division Bell, all backed up by an impressive light show as with the original band. In the Victorian splendour of the Great Hall this will be superb, if you're a Floyd fan, you've got to be here. A seated event.
THINK FLOYD BLACKHEATH HALLS, BLACKHEATH SATURDAY 18 SEPTEMBER TICKETS £16.00

THE ELEVATORS
The Elevators are the leading UK exponents of the classic Electric blues tradition with references to Robert Johnson, BB King, Peter Green, Clapton, and modernists like Robert Cray, but they are not afraid to venture in to Blues territory covered by the like of Ry Cooder and Dylan. Supremely professional with classic and impeccable equipment, light show and stage presentation, The Elevators have justly earned their reputation for being one of the most exciting Blues Bands playing in England today. A seated event.
THE ELEVATORS THE ROCK PLAZA, SEVENOAKS FRIDAY 24 SEPTEMBER TICKETS £10.00

ROBIN TROWER
Robin Trower is one of the most influential Guitar players to come out of the British Blues Rock scene. Despite being tagged by the press with the nickname of "The White Hendrix" back in the 70's, he has created his own way of expressing himself through the guitar, the result of which is a unique style of music all his own. Used to playing arenas around the world, this gig at the SoundHouse will provide an exclusive opportunity to see him live, ‘up close and personal’, in a fantastic, intimate club setting. Not one to be missed! A standing event.
ROBIN TROWER THE SOUNDHOUSE, OTFORD SATURDAY 25 SEPTEMBER TICKETS £17.00

CURST SONS
September's Flying Burrito Club presentation, The Curst Sons unique take on American traditional music mixes Blues, Gospel and Old Time with a kick-ass stomp and a dose of wry humour. Since their first gig in a friend's kitchen back in 1998 the Sons have released four CDs on their own Curst Mountain label, played far too many pubs, clubs and festivals for their addled old brains to remember, and recorded two live sessions for Mark Lamarr on BBC Radio 2. They are also a powerful live act: “...more and more of the audience crept from their seats and like Deep South Baptists possessed of the Spirit danced a fine ol' jig.” A seated, cabaret style event.
THE CURST SONS THE FLYING BURRITO CLUB, SEVENOAKS THURSDAY 30 SEPTEMBER TICKETS £9.00
