ced2 Holmfirth Festival of Folk 7/8/9 May '10 (148* d) RE: Holmfirth Festival of Folk 7/8/9 May '10 10 May 10


Not a reflection on the organisers who did right to move the Sunday event from Stamps.
Stamps the venue for the singaround had a long list of "faults":-
Cold room, not only at he end by the very draughty doors, but also at the bar end,
flaking paint on underground walls due to damp,
gent's loo out of commission, one cubicle in female loo had a light which was not working.
poor selection of drinks, certainly did not match the selection in the Postcard above,
tables of the trestle variety, some seemed a little wobbly
lighting 4 long strip lights, so little atmosphere.
Given the fact that on the two occasions I was in there(Stamps) all seats were taken and the pub upstairs (Postcard) was packed (I was in the session) I think the festival organisers and goers have a right to expect decent accommodation standards from pubs etc.
I wounder how much that particular landlord's takings were up as a result of the festival, I don't know many folkies who abstain from the nectar on such occasions!
