staggering success of last year’s festival Rugfest organisers at Wallingf
ord Rugby club have
\ngone bigger again. This year the festival will
run for the whole weekend and for the first time in 11 years
\nthere
will be a Sunday stage. Organisers are tight lipped about this year’s head
line acts other than to
\nsay that one of them is a band from the Nou
ghties with a string of hits and they played the pyramid
\nstage at G
lastonbury in the 2000’s\, but there\, as always\, is more to come.
“The Blues is Back in Town”… in true rock n roll style Wallingford Blues & BeerFestival will rise agai n from the ashes thanks to a partnership with fellow music promoters Rugfe st\, on Friday 21 st June 2019.
\nThe festival’s 26 year venue\, the
old Regal Cinema\, was bursting at the seams and easily reached its maxim
um 500 capacity during the last three events\, but sadly closed in 2017. M
aybe this was a sign to move to somewhere bigger and better? Forcing the e
vent to cancel at the last minute two years ago was a massive blow\, notwi
thstanding the considerable losses leaving no reserves to invest in a new
site.
\nSuch a shame after giving away over £40\,000 to local chariti
es since its inception..! As the festival’s notoriety has grown over the y
ears\, and created a huge impression nationally on the UK blues scene\, it
’s no wonder that the call from both locals and countrywide blues fans to
re-establish the festival has been heart-warming. This opportunity given b
y Rugfest to host the festival for one night on Friday 21 st June
\n2
019\, at their Wallingford Sports Trust site\, could ensure the future of
the event for another 26 years.
‘Brothers in arms’\, ‘scrum down’\ , ‘pitch perfect’ with an outstanding ‘line-out’ headed by 1970’s chart to ppers and British blues impresarios the Climax Blues Band. The evening eve nt will host three bands with Hip Route finishing the stage set\, then mus ic continues indoors with an open-mic and R&B set to the early hours. The Papa George Band will open on stage at 7pm followed by headliners Climax B lues Band. Gates open 5pm until late with plenty of beer and fodder accomp animent and this year there is no 500 attendee limit on ticket sales!
\nWallingford Blues & Beer Festival could build on this year to be a st and-alone event again and\, with a bit of 20-20 vision\, be restored next year to even more glory than its last six sell-out nights promised. This i s a great chance to be part of a new and exciting rebirth of a famous even t.

Happily\, Posada returns to Dorchest er this Advent. Posada is an old Mexican tradition retelling the story of Mary and Joseph as they travel from house to house asking for a room for t he night. It starts out in the community and ends on Christmas Eve at the church.
\nModern day Posada uses nativity figures of Mary and Joseph
. Each Dorchester host enjoys the chance symbolically to welcome the figur
es into their home with the real message of Christmas. Look out for the fi
gures in Dorchester windows\, and join others at the Abbey for Advent Sund
ay\; the Posada Party on 12 December (see poster)\; or at the Crib Service
on Christmas Eve\, when the figures will feature. (For information:
