The Southwest Regional Banjo Rally is upon us
yet again. The location is the same as previous years, Backwell W.I. hall, which
is located in the centre of the village, eight miles south of Bristol on the
A370. Easy access is gained from all directions using either the M4 or M5
motorways. There is also a regular train service to Backwell (Nailsea) as it is
situated on the main London to Penzance line with connections from Bristol
Temple Meads. Backwell (Nailsea) train station is only ten minutes walk from the
WI hall. Doors open at 11.30 and playing continues from 12:30 through until
5:30pm. Admission is £3.00 The format remains the same during the afternoon
rally with organised playing and regular breaks for buying and selling
instruments and music. The usual friendly faces will be on hand to provide a
range of refreshments, these include, filled rolls, home made cakes and gallons
of tea and coffee, all at reasonable prices, so there is no need to bring food
with you. Anyone wishing to perform and would like accompaniment, do not leave
it until the last moment, please ask now, those second parts need practice as
well. There is always someone willing to offer support. Those wishing to sell
musical goods, please advise prior to the day to reserve your space. Although
the Backwell Rally is intended for finger style banjo, other instruments can be
used for accompaniment. Please understand that we welcome anyone wishing to
attend and willingly encourage newcomers seeking advice and instruction. As in
previous years, the evening playing will continue at the Bridge Inn Yatton, all
types of instruments are welcome and encouraged, meals and accommodation are
available at the Bridge Inn, contact 01934 839100 to book a room. The finale to
the Backwell Rally has proven to be a great success in previous years with a
relaxed atmosphere, good food, good ale and above all good company. All are
welcome; there is no charge for the evening event. Why not make it a weekend
break and visit the surrounding Mendip Hills and Cheddar Gorge or the Victorian
seaside resorts of Clevedon and Weston-Super-Mare, all within close proximity.
