Thread Name: Saddleworth Folk Festival
Subject: RE: Saddleworth Folk Festival
Let's get something clear, there is no such place as Saddleworth. The Festival itself, despite what the organiser says, takes place in Uppermill, which is now part of Oldham in the modern "county" of Greater Manchester. It was formerly part of Lancashire. The poor girl is misguided and deluded, she may be the Chair of a damned fine festival but her geographical knowledge is sadly wanting.
As a Lancastrian Missionary working for the past 20 years in the dark, nether regions of Yorkshire I fel I speak with some considerable authority.
