This is a drag bit of news. The alternative venue.....Pub with great bar and super room could not accomodate us.

We are going to run with the good ole Agnes Hopkins Centre. We do need support of all local MC'ers. We have run (ran , rided , ridden , rode) this festival for around 17 years and this could be a make or break job.

We don't want sympathy votes.....if it don't work why try and mend it...But if you are in the area and want to attend then let us know and we will move heaven , earth and furniture to accomodate you.

It will happen...On the 26th and 27th....with Ceilidh on the 26th at The Agnes Hopkins Centre and a mudcat room upstairs at the White Lion on the same night.

Concert at the white lion on Saturday and all kinds of doings over the two days.....Badges (buttons) will be awarded on Sunday lunchtime in the White Lion bar for persons who survived the weekend.

Kind thanks to Joan from Wigan who is publicising already without payment or any other inducements....It's this help and attitude that makes us keep bashing our heads against brick walls.

Please excuse the space we have used (particularly to Non UK MC'ers) but we need all the help and support we can get. Swinton Folk Festival is a non profit making enterprise run (ran rode ridded etc.) by two MC and one non convert and our aim is to provide a platform for pro and enthusiast's in the accoustic music scene.....

The wekend Ticket will be GBP 5 and session costs will be GBP 3.5

My apology's in advance .....but we will be refreshing this until Mudcat tells us not to.

Thanks....

Spot the Dog.
