The provisional programme for the festival on 6th to 8th April is not on-line at
http://www.hallamtrads.co.uk/Sheffield_Folk_Festival.html

Some minor changes may take place but this is pretty much as accurate as we can make it at present.

Are you planning the same hail storm as last year.

It was VERY impressive as I remember it.

Apart from personally having too much to drink it was a very enjoyable time. I would guess the weather was something of an off put.

Unfortunately my leg will still be in plaster until the following week so unable to come this year.

Hope the broken leg was not a consequence of too much to drink last year guest!

It depends what you mean by American - Actually there is a bluegrass session on Thursday 5th at the Gardner's Rest, Neepsend Lane starting 8:30 or 9:00. It's not part of the 'Festival' or anything, just a regular monthly thing. You're welcome to come to that.

The fliers should be around in the next few days. Watch out for them, there's a full programme (subject to last minute changes) for the weekend.

Fliers have landed and will be distributed today and should be in venues soon. JP if you are bringing the gin for the exclusive G&T session then space will be found for you, will be confirming hopefully the same place as last year. Ray if you want to do an 'Americana' session we will find you a venue (think Dave the Trucker is coming up)

Rich Arrowsmith has the fliers at present Ray. You'll need to contact him. I'm not in Sheffield as you know so they're near the source.

Fraid the timing is intentional. There is not much on at Easter in't Folk Scene and it is an attempt to say 'It it's Easter then it must be Sheffield' (sort of)

We played there last week but the fliers only arrived the next day. It might have been assumed that we'd taken some. No matter, I think they're getting out there. If you need to programme its up on the Hallamshire Traditions website. (see links in the postings above)

Yea well I know about the website Paul and I did try to copy and paste but the technology to change the background colour eludes me and this is no criticism, honest!! LOL

Hallamshire Traditions has a link to Sheffield folk festival (on their website actually) a fine job it is too!

Ray, Highlight the text and then use the copy command. Paste it into a word doc and then again select all the text. Then change the font colour to black. Job done. I'll try another experiment and then post here.

Right then …for Ray and all you lot out there who can't get hold of a really smart glossy full colour programme like what we've just been distributing in the Kelham Island Tavern. Go to the festival page on the Hallamtrads site and scroll down to the title for the festival programme. On the left of that is a .pdf link which will allow you to download a boring (but informative) black and white version of the programme.
cheers,
Paul

An alternative is to go into Sheffield, check out the beer in the 'Vale of Ale' until you find a pub that's got brochures? :-)

If anyone else needs fliers/programmes in a hurry, the Kelham Island Tavern has plenty space to judge by the stuff there on Sunday night. We'll also leave some at the Riverside tonight at the Brightfurnace traipse event.
