Thread Name: Holmfirth Festival of Folk TWO
Subject: RE: Holmfirth Festival of Folk TWO
An even better idea - if THEY are going to proceed away from Holmfirth how about THEY choose another date as it will in fact be a NEW festival as you really can't have Holmfirth Folk Festival anywhere other than Holmfirth no matter how much they protest that it is the Pennine Festival of whatever.
After the weekend we have become Holmfirth Festival of Folk, the People's Festival (just so that we can cause an apostrophe problem). Actually that's not true but I think it's a good idea and it's based on a comment from yesterday's Memorial concert.
I don't agree with the comments about the drummers - I thought they were excellent. What was particularly good about them was the fact that the group was made up of drummers of all ages, not just the usual middle aged types.   I thought they were great.
