03 Jul 13 - 02:09 AM (#3533111) Subject: White Horse folk festival 2013 (UK) From: Herga Kitty Skipy's a bit too poorly to publicise his festival at Grove (Wantage, Berks) this year, so I thought I'd start a thread about this lovely, friendly little festival instead. The festival runs from 16-18 August and there will, as usual, be opportunities to sing with me and Derek, and with the Admiral and Mrs Admiral, play with Bill McKinnon, dance in the Old Mill Hall, watch other people dance, and listen to great performers such as Maggie Boyle and Paul Downes, Mudcat's own Keith Kendrick and Sylvia Needham, and Wholehearted (John Oke Bartlett and Pete Luscombe). And to meet up and chill out with friends old and new. Kitty |

03 Jul 13 - 04:33 AM (#3533128) Subject: RE: White Horse folk festival 2013 (UK) From: GUEST It's the friendly relaxed atmosphere that makes White Horse (Grove to most of us!) such a special festival. I started going when I was working at its predecessor the Stanford-in-the Vale with Johnny Collins in The Singing Chef, oh happy days! The WHFF is different but just as good. |

03 Jul 13 - 05:13 AM (#3533140) Subject: RE: White Horse folk festival 2013 (UK) From: GUEST,Banjiman Really looking forward to going for the first time. Wendy Arrowsmith (my wife) is also booked as a guest but we're looking forward to a family weekend there as we're bringing my Mum, my Sister (who celebrates her *0th birthday on the Sunday) and my nephew. My Sister and Nephew are visiting from Sweden. That's as well as our kids of course. I will also be bringing the banjo. Sorry! |

At the moment see no reason not to be there this year , and I will also have at least one banjo . |

All depends if we can make it down from Scotland in future years. Since we won't be taking the caravan north with us it will be up for sale. "Coachman 440 VIP" if anyone is interested, make us an offer. |
