Thread Name: is Baring Gould Folk Festival worth it?
Subject: RE: is Baring Gould Folk Festival worth it?
So why shouldn't folk be snazzy!!   Actually Wren Music work all the year round working in schools and in the community bringing folk music into every day lfe. They all work tremendously hard and have brought on so many young musicians. One of their young 'folk choirs' has just come back from South Africa where they have been on tour. Paul Wilson and Marilyn Tucker who run Wren, with the help of a whole team of young folk musicians and singers, work their socks off to promote folk, and particularly the rich heritage that Devon, especially Sabine Baring Gould, has to offer. They are making sure that the local traditions, songs and heritage don't die out. Keep it up Wren. See you at the festival, catters.
