Refreshing this!
There is a brilliant line up: Kevin and Ellen Mitchell, Dave Fletcher and Bill Whalley, Peta Webb and Ken Hall, Trio Threlfall, and lots more but my mind has gone blank... Festival starts on Friday night and continues until Sunday afternoon.There are still a few rooms left at the pub (actually, two, I think) otherwise the nearest campsite is Charity Farm, Wrightington. There are several little lanes near the Crown at Worthington Pub, 19-20 Platt Lane
Standish, Wigan, Lancashire WN1 2XF, where the festival is taking place, and an industrial estate where you may be able to park up, but at your own risk!
The pub sells a variety of excellent beers, will be putting on snacks, teas and coffees and also has a really good restaurant.
It will be a great weekend and all for the British Heart Foundation Charity. Be great to see some of you there.
Let me know if you want more details.

Great. Let's really spread the word and make it a sell out. We know it will be well organised. I'm looking forward to it already.

That's good news to hear . I really enjoyed my first and only visit so far earlier this year, and was sad to hear of the demise of the festival. Hoorah!

Great to hear. Four Fools was certainly a unique festival. Let's get as many singers together as possible and really make the rafters roar. We can make next year's event a 'roaring' success (and lots of money for the British Heart Foundation).

Glad something will be happening - it is such a great 'singers' festival'. Look forward to hearing more about it,

Good news indeed Bladens! You must've been going through some soul-searching eh? I know the pluses and minuses of helming an 'institution!' The weekend will be well-supported, you can be sure, and "if it broke etc."
Perhaps you could enthuse the ex-Maghull Day Of Music people to restart that enjoyable event? Round this time of year, it was a welcome pre-Christmas cheerer and I'm missing that anticipation this year, not to mention the Day itself.

Having received so much great feedback after making the decision to finish the Four Fools/Traditions Festival we have decided to run a charity event next year. As Four Fools is such a strong singers festival we will organise a "SING YOUR HEART OUT" weekend at our current folk club venue. The event will be in aid of The British Heart Foundation. Event will take place over the normal festival weekend i.e. 25 - 27 June 2010. Please watch this space for more information and once again thanks for all the messages following our difficult decision to end the Festival.
