Thread Name: Can a mainly 'Fringe' festival work?
Subject: RE: Can a mainly 'Fringe' festival work?
Hi all went to a music fest at Staithes in Yorkshire this year.
Had great time met loadsa people and heard lots of great singing accompanied and otherwise.
the event was based in two pubs and a large hall.
We played and sang every day and there was no booked artiste.
We are going to the Gainsbro folk festival on weekend of 20th october.
Is a mixture of both playing and listening to the pro's
We hope to meet more new people and see some we have had the pleaure of meeting before.
I dont know how it stacks up by the £/$ but will let you know re the enjoyment and fun.
First noticable difference is the cost I suppose.
Also is first attempt at indoor camping so should be a lot of fun and that in my opinion is what it is all about.
