Thread Name: How Do You Choose Which Fest?
Subject: RE: How Do You Choose Which Fest?
I take on board the comments regarding 'Line Dancing' and will move to ensure that we have enough toilets on site! Of course, the loos in the actual building will also be available from 9am - 3 am! (Lovely Late Bars Here!)
And... to confirm once again.. IF YOU WANT TO SING/PERFORM THERE WILL BE AMPLE OPPORTUNIIES @ Clennell Hall Folk Festival!!
Like I keep stressing, I would like this to be a Festival FOR Folk, ie for the people paying the ticket price, not for the organizers anyone else. I positively WANT folk to come along and sing at sessions, sing arounds & wokshops, and, if possible, on the same bill as the 'booked' acts! There is no regular public transport from Rothbury to Alwinton, so the Hotel are putting on a FREE 8 seeter shuttle, and we are negotiating with local bus company to get them to put a couple of mini busses on over the weekend, so, access shouldn't be a problem.
I hope that I can re-create the 'feeling' of that Bromyard '74 fest that I went to, and create a festival that is different to all the others, in location, facilities, accessability, and ambiance. And I hope you can come! WEB SITE
