Subject: RE: Holmfirth Festival of Folk 2007
You are right Cath.
Time for me and Tyke to end our jolly japes and concentrate on the Festival.
Tyke is right. Holmfirth Festival of Folk really is a great festival.

It is set in the the beautiful location of Holmfirth in the Holme valley. near Huddersfield,West Yorkshire,England.
This is the setting for the ever popular TV series "Last Of The Summer Wine" made famous by the likes of Compo (bless him) and Nora Batty etc.
This TV series has been shown all over the world. So if you come from the USA,Australia,Europe,Japan,Ireland etc etc why not come over to the festival and soak up the atmosphere.
This is a friendly and community-based festival where you will be made very welcome.

There's plenty of atmosphere to soak up with lots of concerts,Ceilidh,workshops,craft fairs,morris dancers in great abundance out on the streets and of course the ever-present musician sessions and sing-arounds in the pubs,wine bars and hotels.

The Festival runs from FRI 11 to SUN 13 MAY 2007.

Hope to see you there.
