We've received this message from Joe Bayliss, a singer-songwriter who's playing at The Green Duck in Tunbridge Wells on 2nd July.

'Hello there. My name is joe bayliss and I perform at folk clubs around the country. Unfortunately it has been difficult geographically to find gigs in the Kent area as I'm Staffordshire based and therefore not able to easily, make my music aware to clubs. However, I am performing as part of the Tunbridge fringe Festival in July at the Green Duck Emporium. I would like to offer a discount to members of your club if they would like to attend. The ticket price is £8 but I would happily refund £2 on the ticket price for any club member. I would love to meet up with any of your members who may wish to come along.

here is a link to the fringe website ticket page so you can see more.

Many thanks for your time, joe
