None of the organisers seem to be posting it, so... If you happen to be in the North Island of New Zealand, the AFMF is starting on Friday week, 24th of January, until the 27th. And a jolly good time will be had by all. Especially me. Chris.

Say hello to my friends for me. I'm sure Tony Rickets (my dopelganger) will be there, and maybe Keith & Barbara from Wellington.

Oh and say hello to Pete (Mr Melodeon) Grassby who will be doing some Irish set dances I believe, before he jets on over to San Francisco for a few gigs in Feb.

Is this the festival Jo Cresswell organizes?

It is organised by a committee formed from Auckland folk clubs, I believe, or that is how it was for all the 29 years since its inception. Between them, they know everyone, and a nicer bunch of folks you'll never meet.

Tony said he was doing publicity this year. I never got that far North myself.

eyup,
Well worth going to. We were looked after like kings last time we were there, but watch out for the mozzies.
