Festivals And Folk, or Folk Festivals
Yes folks festival time is fast upon us again. Lineups are being set, tickets
are going on sale, and the beer is being.....never mind that! We think we said somewhere else that what with all these links
to breweries, it makes it sound as if us folkies are all a lot of drunks, perpetually pissed....not true, we put down the
glass long enough to play music and/or stagger to the next folk festival. Well, what we're attempting to do here and on the
next few pages is to save you lot out there a little leg work and give you some idea of what's coming up this spring
and summer, both in Britain, and a couple from Canada (on this page) and other sundry places, on the next and so
on and so forth. While the listings will be far from complete, we hope that you'll get some idea of what's going on, and the
when and the where. Most of the musicians listed are appearing at one or another, or all of the festivals mentioned, nice
to know who the players are, before the match....... oh...and yes we know the the Cromer poster, seen below, is from 2003,
but the link is to the 2005 festival, and besides, we really like the poster, so there!
BAR TENT IS OPEN!!!!!
