The FINAL Major Country Music Festival that I attended was at
BREAN SANDS back in 1993
It ran for a week, their normal way of doing things, and this was from
9 Oct '93 until 16 Oct '93.
There were many performers, at a phenomenally economic
entrance fee (thanks to the 'vision' of the late Bob Chappell).

However, the scheme seemed to have gone DOWNHILL quite a bit
since its glory-days!!
Apart from the musical attractions (my main reason for going) there were
several other attractions like:-
Country Music quizzes
Talent competitions
Country Dancing
Fast-draw competitions
Square Dancing
Line Dancing!!
Country Music Films
Performers appearing were:
The FABULOUS "FROGGIE" (Raymond Froggatt)

Joe E Hamilton & High Chapperal
West Virginia
The Haley Sisters Band
(These delightful ladies had been the SQUARE-DANCE
partners of KEITH MANIFOLD and myself at 'Potters' in 1990!!)

Memphis Roots
Clearwater Mountain Band
Roger & Dion Charles
Wes Cardy Band
Stu Page Band
Stringband
Texas Gun plus Steve Travis
SARAH JORY Band
Bob King
Bob McKinlay Band
Roly Daniels Band
IDA RED
Muldoon Brothers
Fever
That was sure "quite line-up" - but still WAY DOWN on its 'Glory Days' and was
the FINISH of a decade with my support.
