Anyone planning (as I am) to get to the 35th National (Folk Music Festival) at Sutton Boninghton, Leicestershire, nr Loughbprough, April 6th - 8th?

It's a great festival and very different from the rest. Everyone coming out from hibernation on the campus of an agricultural college.

"Song and music sessions, lectures and discussions involving performers and acknowledged experts in the field, story-telling sessions, ceilidh ..." People booked so far include Mick Quinn, Danny Meehan, Tam Reid....Weekend tickets œ37 (œ40 after March 15th), œ6 camping (indoor or outdoor), œ46 for a room if you'd rather. Details from: 01296 415333(phone), 01296 3997092 (fax); or 5 Church Street Aylesbury, Bucks HP20 2QP. A great way to start the folk festival year!
