Thread Name: Dialect Readers Wanted for Fylde!!
Subject: Dialect Readers Wanted for Fylde!!
The Lancashire Language Society (formerly the Lancashire Dialect Society) is organising an event to be held on the Sunday at Fylde Folk Festival. We are looking for people from all parts of England who perform items in their own dialect who would be interested in coming to Fylde for this event which will include a competition with various categories for dialect work and a concert which will feature representatives from different dialect speaking areas.

It is quite possible that people we are after are members of dialect societies who aren't folkies and won't be aware of this message.
If you are interested or know someone who might be interested can you get in touch with me by PM or email - mark@markdowding.co.uk.

The fine details have yet to be worked out and at the moment we are looking to see who is interested. This thread will be updated by either myself or Sid Calderbank when we have more information.

Cheers
Mark
