Subject: RE: Holmfirth Festival of Folk
Hello Wonder Woman here and most certainly not in LA - I have made it through snow, ice and gails to the furthest outpost of this realm.
Anyway Peter and Ray seem to have answered most of the issues over sessions and singarounds.
Every effort is being made to do just what Soldier Boy is asking but it might not be possible to have three entirely dedicated venues because there aren't that many that want to be involved that won't have something else programmed in. We are very conscious that we don't want to have every hour of the day filled in every pub to the exclusion of informal, spontaneous events.
The Nook will be a session pub most of the time, Hervey's will be available for Singarounds we hope for at least some of the time. We are led to believe that the Elephant was welcoming to folkies last time despite saying that they don't want to be officially involved and they will be sounded out again shortly. The White Hart is up for concert spots and may be available for informal things downstairs. The Postcard has acts on Friday and Saturday evening and things are still in the planning stage for Saturday afternoon.
The Victoria along the valley a bit is up for grabs as they welcome anything all weekend. Anyone willing to take on sessions of something there is welcome.
As Peter says the programme should be available for Easter, all being well so bear with us please.
