We have scheduled nine slots for sing-arounds at this year's fetsival. We have the advantage of the use of a very comfortable venue right down the street from the main performance areas that has a fireplace and living room feel and we're putting a different performer in charge of the proceedings for an hour each, thus giving some formal aegis to what we hope will also occur spontaneously at different times and places throughout the four-day festival.
It's one way to address the inherent anomaly in *performance* of *folk music.*
