Thread Name: Doncaster Folk Fest 2010
Subject: RE: Doncaster Folk Fest 2010
Some, above, seem a tad irate...
I only posted a heads-up on here (and please don't shoot this messenger) because I saw another thread from Hissyfit,
who are performing at this fest which mentioned it in passing.
I did a quick check around to see if the organisers had put owt on here.
I have no part of the fest organisation - my band, too, are merely booked as artists

Nope - they seem to have 'missed a trick' - missed the oppo to get a few extra bods on board
by posting (for free) on dear ol' Mudcat!
Hence my eleventh hour effort.
But they HAVE advertised elsewhere, I must add.
I've seen a (no doubt) paid-for quarter page ad in a national music publication (for one example).
I cut it out for m' scrapbook!

I do feel sorry for those that might have made it given more of a heads-up
(though to rely on Mudcat-alone for fest info doesn't make for best planning, I'd have thought?)

Nevertheless, I've done my best having stumbled upon Donny's possible oversight on the freebie publicity front.

Those who can make it can have a reet knees-up as the McF Band will
see the night off with all the best of their uptempo stuff - leaving
out all the slow and artier stuff for 'dance purposes'.
Get yer dancin' duds n clogs on!
Mebbe see ya - Dunc
