There is an article in the latest "Set and Turn Single" folk dance magazine about the move to Thame. It also mentions a certain book, copies of which are now available.....(but not "freely" available) I missed Towersey this year - maybe I'll try the new venue in 2015! An article in the Thame Gazette apparently stated the festival contributed £275,000 to local projects over 50 years, and concluded that Towersey "will be poorer for the move in every way". I hope the superb ceilidh tent dance floor will be at Thame in 2015. I welcome the comments about overcrowding - some venues are simply absurd in terms of dancers per square metre. At folk dances I help to organise we set a door limit so as to permit good dancing space for those who do buy tickets. some guidance on numbers per square metre is here: folk dancers per square metre comments welcome.
