Subject: RE: Holmfirth Festival of Folk
I'm back!

Too much to drink Saturday although I took it steady!

The weather was too good for England and the morris and longsword and garland dancers provided a spendid spectacle for tourists and folkies alike

Good to meet up with old fiends the heck contingent, Mick McGarry and Mary who came Sunday and Murph and Gwen

Les from Lincoln, Roy Clinging, Fyrish and Monologue John, Lindsay on pa and of course all the regular Holmfirthers and Committee, Ned and Patti, Brian Howard and the spoons and the catters, not to mention George [Tyke]and Dozy Rosy [Bev]

Carmichael are a very professional act with superb piping from Mark

Soundsphere four very distinct voices singing in a number of languages ~ at a folk festival! but very entertaining

o and yes I was one of two in the wibbly wobbly workshop ~ fell over ~ damage minimal fortunately [some say]

Met one or two new people and I will be checking out web sites shortly
