Thread Name: Holmfirth Festival
Subject: RE: Holmfirth Festival
I agree with Nutty. "Zulu Nation", 6 females and 8 males (two with very big loud drums, Hmmmm)who sing and dance in tribal style were the highlight of Saturday for me. Their singing with that distinctively African choral sound was compellingly enchanting. (Is that OK for half a crown Moses?) I thought it made an excellent contrast to the usual (but still great) British ritual dance sides.

Anyone know anything about them? Where are they based? Are they appearing at any other folk Festivals?
