Hi folks, it's all coming together and looking like it's going to be a great weekend. I'm looking forward to it.

To reinforce Cath's message earlier about the mischievous and sabateur article in the Huddersfield Examiner: "Folk festival '07 set to move to Shepley" (Wed 19 April) can I implore Mudcatters to respond to this by emailing a letter to the Examiner at: "letters@examiner.co.uk ". This article deliberately sets out to mislead the general public into believing that there is no Folk Festival this year and is the work of organisers of the previous Holmfirth Folk Festival Ltd who are pi**ed off that good community -minded people have stepped in this year to fill the breach left by them. Just doubly reinforce the message that there is indeed a great Festival this year from 5-7 of May 2006.
The more letters; the more publicity for this event.
This article was below the belt and has Joe Public confused, not knowing if there is FolK Festival in Holmfirth or not this year!
Bad blood or what from the previous organising committee?

Cath, you can't miss me! I'm the bloke in the red army jacket and pith helmet ( hence " Soldier Boy"!) that plays the snair drum with the Slubbing Billys Morris Team. Try to catch us dancing out over the weekend and I will look forward to saying hello to you.
If not dancing out I'll be in the Nook!!
