Subject: Leigh Folk Festival 2008
As I could not find a current thread for this event, I thought I'd start one.
17th Annual Leigh Folk Festival in Leigh on Sea, Essex runs from 26 through 29 June. Boasts loads of free events and fun for all the family.
Barn Dances, Ceilidhs, Concerts, Singarounds, Sessions, Workshops, Open Mike Competition, Children's Events, Dance Sides from Around the World.
Leigh on Sea is a lovely little place and the people I met at the last year's sing around sessions were warm and welcoming. Derek "Otto" Oliver, a very encouraging session MC. And the people at the Peter Boat pub, friendly and generous, which is so key to the success of a session.
