FOG(Friend of Gnome) Swinton Folk Festival (Manchester, UK) (44) RE: Swinton Folk Festival (Manchester, UK) 16 Sep 01


To everyone who is thinking oh no -no bar-I can tell you all that the greatest sessions for both music and craic we ever had running the Hogshead folk thing was when me and Pete Wardle made the move to Adies bookshop and ran acoustic nights in there on a 'Bring your own drink' basis Everyone benefited from not paying the extortionate tax on drink we have in the UK and from the non-existent closing time situation. All in all it made for a much more relaxed atmosphere and I for one am bloody glad we are shot of that awful Lancastrian Hall. At least noone will be poisoned by their atrocious kitchen this year! Hope to see you all there this year in fine voice. One of the highlights of Fylde this year was the wonderful singing of the Shellback Chorous in the bar so hopefully we can recreate some of the magic of that. Take care one and all in these dark scary days and dont forget to hug each other and 'always have enough love to go round' Phil
