Freda: let me put in a word for Nantwich Folk Festival. August 27-29. Nantwich is a little old black-and white (architecture, not ethnicity) town in cheshire, northwest England. very close to M6 (how are you going to be travelling?). This is the main north-south drag, London a short 4 hours, Glasgow or Edinburgh a slightly longer 4 hours.
   One advantage of going to the festival would be the chance of seeing some of the refugee musicians that you and I have written about in various threads recently. (Though maybe you've seen enough refugees in your life already?).
    I am sure you will have a wonderful trip wherever you go, judging by the information and offers pouring in.
