23 Jun 17 - 05:48 AM (#3862467) Subject: Folk Festival Listing sites From: JHW Who's Festival listing would you recommend. I long had a Folk and Roots button on my browser but that refused one day so I've been using UK Folk Festivals. Now that's barred (Couldn't connect to server becauseThe server requested authentication method unknown to the client) People are forever telling me they've been to festivals I've not heard of. Who does the best list |

23 Jun 17 - 07:43 AM (#3862480) Subject: RE: Folk Festival Listing sites From: Will Fly I also got that authentication message. The link below it on my Google page appears to work: https://www.thefestivalcalendar.co.uk/ |

23 Jun 17 - 07:50 AM (#3862481) Subject: RE: Folk Festival Listing sites From: Stanron I put Folk Festivals into a search engine and found the one you mentioned. I also found an EFDSS site https://www.efdss.org/whats-on/folk-festivals-2017 which seems ok but does not have links to some actual festival web sites. |

23 Jun 17 - 02:58 PM (#3862567) Subject: RE: Folk Festival Listing sites From: FreddyHeadey others I've seen Worldwide Club & Festival map by Chris Rust www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=zFcKphOvGxXU.kaygq-TxL-oI&z=8&ll=52.8%2C-2.1 (if it gives you the option, open it in the browser, not 'maps') You'll need to change the layer displayed from clubs to festivals. + info about it https://folkmusicmap.wordpress.com/about-2/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Living Tradition - Festivals List /www.livingtradition.co.uk ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ Mudcat's Mr Red's ... focused on the southwest but I bet it's bang up to date http://mister.red/fest.html |

25 Jun 17 - 11:10 AM (#3862828) Subject: RE: Folk Festival Listing sites From: Mr Red Mr Red's Festival listings a couple of updates, Minehead Musicians Festival - have asked in March and just but have no firm answers. Anything else that isn't listed as this year probably isn't running this year. |

26 Jun 17 - 10:51 AM (#3862976) Subject: RE: Folk Festival Listing sites From: jojofolkagogo Well, I go to "www.ukfolkfestivals.co.uk" then click on "The Big List" - works for me. Very up to date so far as I can see |

13 Mar 18 - 07:51 PM (#3910945) Subject: RE: Folk Festival Listing sites From: FreddyHeadey Having looked at all those above, and more, I concur with jojofolkagogo - "www.ukfolkfestivals.co.uk" gives the most festivals and is easiest to follow. http://www.ukfolkfestivals.co.uk/england.php#May the "Big List" gives everything but you can filter that by \ Scotland \ England \ Ireland \ Wales Living Tradition gives nearly as many but I found harder to read - the whole UK, by date http://www.livingtradition.co.uk/festivals/festival-listing This year fRoots is linking to the Spiral Earth site which hasn't been updated from 2017. http://www.frootsmag.com/content/festivals/ The Festival Calendar lists about 25% https://www.thefestivalcalendar.co.uk/country-folk-festivals.ph efdss has about 50% but might be better focused for some? https://www.efdss.org/whats-on/folk-festivals-2018 ~~~~~~~ |

13 Mar 18 - 08:22 PM (#3910948) Subject: RE: Folk Festival Listing sites From: Tattie Bogle The Scottish TMSA one only includes those who have paid to advertise in it, so does not cover absolutely all festivals. |
|
13 Mar 18 - 08:25 PM (#3910949) Subject: RE: Folk Festival Listing sites From: FreddyHeadey Imam reliably informed that fRoots IS showing 2018 festivals in the paper version just published. |

15 Mar 18 - 07:35 AM (#3911149) Subject: RE: Folk Festival Listing sites From: Mr Red all at mister.red festivals (SW England & de Ddywrain Cymru) is as up to date as of March 1st - least ways those that have websites and have updated with 2018 info. eg there will probably be a Gwyl Ifan in Cardiff but IME their info is usually JIT (just in time) map.mister.red gives a clearer picture if you are limiting yourself to a locality. Though it includes Clubs and sessions. Click in the area of interest and see what it shows. As I always say "let me know if you have specific knowledge and can update me" |

28 Jan 19 - 12:11 AM (#3973778) Subject: RE: Folk Festival Listing sites From: Shezinaussie The great Mr Red - great to see you are still up and running and doing 'ya thing' - I am planning to come back for a 6 mth 'festival crawl' in 2020, and the search of 'festival sites' took me to your page - you are suitably 'book marked' and will be my reference point - not till 2020 mind you, so will still have to wait till later in the year to get the dates :) |

28 Jan 19 - 04:33 AM (#3973785) Subject: RE: Folk Festival Listing sites From: Mr Red I do do a trawl when I feel like it but festivals can be quite late, even with just dates for upcoming year. The links to their websites covers the situation a bit. Anyway - if you spot me at a festival - say hello. |
