And KEEPING to the subject at hand, I had no choice about Bromyard 1974, My Old Dad, (Forsh the original of Rumbylowe fame) just packed me up and took me! The Last fest I managed to get to a fest was the Scarboro festival of the sea thing, and I have done that for the last 2 years, because it is the sort of fest where non-folkies come along also, and it is good to see the really good acts 'turning them on'! LOCATION is important, I gues, as is the cost of distance to travel, cost of camping (FREE at Clennell Hall Fest!) beer food etc. As to Acts, I look to see that there is at least one that I know/like, so that I am guarenteed some enjoyment for my travels, and everything else is a bonus. If I went for NAMES alone, I would Never have had the pleasure of the Unthank Sisters (singing!) Nor Emily Slade before she hit the 'big time'. I love to find New folk to rave about, I gues, and to keep the folk experience as fresh as I can for me.
