It should be up and running well by now, so this is a gratuitous refresh with a song from Miskin 2003:

MISKIN 2003
(TTTO Llwyn Onn- The Ash Grove)

Verse 1
I went down to Miskin to visit a folk fest,
And see if the weekend held something for me.
I'd seen it on 'Mudcat' and thought it would be best
To visit 'cos some of my weekend was free
So I picked up my camera, and gathered my songbooks
My longing for singing. I gave it its head.
But when I arrived in that small Miskin village
The pub had no 'Hwyl',
And it all seemed quite dead!


Verse 2
I got to 'The Miskin' a pub with a hist'ry
And thought I might meet with someone from 'The 'Cat'
But as I sat drinking, I thought 'tis a myst'ry
These 'folk' are all locals, so where am I at?
But then I was 'pointed' down to the Scout campsite
Where folk were carousing inside Miskin Mill
I got introduced to some folk from the 'Cat site,
And sat there, conversed there, and drank there until....

Chorus
.. There was singing and drinking,
And dancing and drinking
Lace making, and drinking
'Corn dollies' and beer
I had such a time there that now I am thinking
I'll be back at Miskin at Easter next year!

Verse 3
So now that I've found what these folk fests are like, I
Am looking for somewhere new that I can go.
I've heard about Cambridge, Glynllifon and Sidmouth
And dancing with 'Obby 'Orse down at Padstow
But if I can make it
My wallet may take it
To Upton Upon Severn I'm hoping to go.
If I can just get there, I think it would be fair
To give up the booze for the weekend .although.

Chorus
There's singing and drinking,
And dancing and drinking
Lace making, and drinking
'Corn dollies' and beer
I'll have such a time there that now I be thinking
I'll have to do folk fests throughout all the year!
