Subject: RE: Holmfirth Festival of Folk TWO
Great festival. We had a lovely time at the Barnsley Folk Club on Friday. On Saturday we sat and ate our picnic in the sunshine (yay) and then I went to Waking the Witch (great, lovely harmonies and interesting songs) in the afternoon while the boys babysat in the Nook - (don't think they were too impressed (with having to babysit that is)). On Saturday eve my other half reported a lovely session in the Bridge (my turn to babysit) and on Sunday we made it over for Fore n'Aft and a good Shanty sing and the family Ceilidh which our 15 month old thoroughly enjoyed. We popped in quickly to the picturedrome but it was a bit loud for our little one - we both agreed though that the Duncan McFarlane Band sounded better than the last Steeleye Span concert we went to ;-) All in all a great weekend of music and dance. Thank you to the organisers who have done a sterling job to put all this on. F
