Programmes should be available to buy from tomorrow at the Tourist Info in Holmfirth and some of the shops and pubs.

Names still being added to the list - Abelungu, an African drumming trio from Sowerby Bridge will be playing at the Y Bar from about 6 - 7 on Saturday teatime.

A couple of things to take off the list of earlier announcements - the Rowan knitting workshop won't happen so no need to polish up your knitting songs and unfortunately the hugely talented young group 4 Square can't make the Saturday gig so another hugely talented young duo - James Meadows and Steve Lacey will take their place.

Tyke has got his itinerary sorted and will be a very busy boy on Saturday but can relax after Chumbawamba at the Civic.

I notice that James and Mayer are doing a Jake Thackray show at Birds Edge this Sunday but don't forget that we have our own Jake Thackray Experience performed by very talented Jake enthusiasts - that will be on the Saturday night of the festival at the Old Bridge.

Wots this got to do with it read on
Mass trespass of Kinder Scout
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search

Commemorative plaque at Bowden Bridge QuarryThe mass trespass of Kinder Scout was a notable act of willful trespass by ramblers. It was undertaken at Kinder Scout, in the Peak District of England, on 24 April 1932, to highlight weaknesses in English law of the time. This denied walkers in England or Wales access to areas of open country, and to public footpaths which, in previous ages (and today), formed public rights of way. Political and conservation activist Benny Rothman was one of the principal leaders.

A commemorative plaque now marks the start of the trespass at Bowden Bridge quarry near Hayfield (which is now a popular area for ramblers). This was unveiled in April 1982 by an aged Benny Rothman during a rally to mark the 50th anniversary. The trespass proceeded via William Clough to the plateau of Kinder Scout, where there were violent scuffles with gamekeepers. Several ramblers were arrested and some would receive jail sentences of 18 months, merely for diverging a few yards from a right-of-way.

The mass trespass had a far-reaching impact, some of which is still playing out today. Eventually, changes in the law would allow all citizens access to public footpaths, regardless of whether they crossed private land. This culminated in the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000, which legislates a limited right to roam over scheduled access land (see Open Country).

Ewan MacColl, the poet and folk singer, celebrated these events in his song The Manchester Rambler, and it is also the subject of a song onChumbawamba's 2005 album A Singsong and a Scrap. Today week marks the 75th anniversary of the mass trespass on Kinder Scout.

Ned Ludd is almost right - Emily can't appear on Saturday which is why the Ugly Mug Jug Band are on at Carniceria.
However - she will be on with Steve Jones on Sunday afternoon.
Programmes at printer as I write and should be out and for sale on Friday. Same price as last year (£1) but lots more pages. We have page inflation but not price inflation - (thinks - must have a word with Gordon about that).

This years Holmfirth Festival of Folk will be held on 11th, 12th, and 13th May 2007.

There will be lots going on again, including concerts by Chumbawamba, The John Richards Band, Kate Bramley, Emily Druce, Gordon Tyrrall , Brian Peters , The Red Parrots and many many more.
Workshops for all ages, a family Ceilidh led by the Good Egg Band and lots of Morris sides (including the famous Britannia Coconut Dancers from Bacup) are all adding to this great weekend of talent and fun.

Holmfirth, heart of Last of the Summer Wine Country, will also be vibrant and entertaining with the usual lively musician sessions and sing-arounds found in the many pubs and hotels etc throughout the weekend.
Local and nearly local bands; Old Man Pie, The Travelling Billberets and Free Sandwiches will doing their stuff and The Shellback Chorus will be filling the streets and venues with their powerful harmonies.

This is a real village festival amongst some of the most stunning scenery of the Yorkshire Pennines .
The fact that it is village based means that everything (including camping) is only a short stroll away.
The abundance of excellent pubs, clubs, hotels, restaurants, take-aways, shops, B&Bs, and of course the festival concert venues etc makes this a very convenient, convivial and easy going festival with a really great friendly atmosphere.
