9.      FEBRUARY FOLK FESTIVAL IN LEEDS. In an adventurous piece of programming for an academic institution, the University of Leeds School of Music has put together a weekend of folk-related events next month. There is a FREE lunchtime recital by John Renbourn on Friday 17th February, and a FREE early evening concert by renowned Irish flautist Desi Wilkinson. Maggie Boyle does a Saturday lunchtime concert on the 18th, then she, Desi and fiddle maestro Joe Broughton offer afternoon workshops. Saturday evening's headline concert is by Joe Broughton & the Birmingham Conservatoire Folk Ensemble, then on Sunday afternoon there is a more conventional classical recital, "Folk Song Into Art Song". The weekend is supported by folk instrument dealers Hobgoblin Music and takes place in the Clothworkers' Centenary Hall. The enquiries number is 0113 343 2584, or I have fliers available in the Thursday night leaflet stand.
