Thread Name: Pickering Festival - LINE UP (UK)
Subject: RE: Pickering Festival - LINE UP (UK)
Why does (Guest the input) have to be aggressive & confrontational all the time? ( and seeing as he has decended on us suddenly & has such a lot to say why does'nt he stand up & be counted & join)?

I didn't rubbish anyone else's choice of music, the line up is just not my taste.
If anybody is interested in my idea of a good festival line up.(probably not) Then the ones that spring to mind this year are
Shepley:- Peggy Seegar, The Watersons, Bellowhead, Bella Hardy Crucible, Whapweasal, Demon Barbers, Askew Sisters, Spiers & Boden, John T & Barry C, etc (can't go dancing at Moulton, sorry Bry)
Saddleworth:-Chris W & Julie M, Nancy Kerr & James Fagin, MawkinCausley, A J Clarke, Bill Whalley & Dave Fletcher, Mary Humphries & Anahata, Flossie etc. ( I am going)
Warwick:- Bellowhead, Oysterband (i'd give them a miss), Breabach, Jez Lowe & the Bad Pennies, Mrs Ackroyd Band, Bob Fox, Rachel Unthank, The Wilsons, Roy Bailey & Tony Benn. (can't go)
Fylde:- Show of Hands( Sun). John Tams & Barry Coope (BBC Radio 2 Best Folk Duo - Fri). Tim Van Eyken Trio(Sat.). The Omega3. Jez Lowe & The Bad Pennies. Nancy Kerr & James Fagan. Debby McLatchy (USA). Uiscedwr. Bernard Wrigley(Thurs). Mad Agnes(USA). Bruce Mathiske(AUS). Keith Donnelly. Askew Sisters(BBC Folk Awards Finalists). Daimh (Scot). Strawhead. Flossie(Fra). 4Square. Isambarde. Tom Topping Band. Ruth Notman Trio(BBC Folk Awards Finalist). Alan Bell Band. Brian Preston Duo. Bryony. Gary & Vera Aspey. Cross o Thands. Vicky Swann & Jonny Dyer. (i'll be there)
Shrewsbury looks good oh & Saltburn too. (both a bit too close datewise to my weeks hol in Whitby).
Like I said before we all like different things.
Cheers
