Word on the street is that festival type entertainment of the Folk variety is still planned to take place in Holmfirth. It seems (to me)that there was an assumption that because the previous management committee didn't want to do it that it wouldn't go ahead.
Far better that someone does something (allbeit differently)to keep the spirit of music and dance in Holmfirth rather than do nothing and then whinge to the Holme Valley Express about business not supporting it "and they can't call it Holmfirth Folk Festival coz I've got the copyright".
A very sad affair.
