Thread Name: do you remember your first festival?
Subject: RE: do you remember your first festival?
My parents were folkies so my first festival was Broadstairs or Sidmouth in utero and, no, I dont remember it. ;-) I remember later festivals as a kid though and I enjoyed them all. Growing up in folk's nomadic village was one of the best things about my childhood. Outstanding memories include: the Hooden Horses at Broadstairs; being called on to sing for the first time at a singaround (John Kirkpatrick sang too); and the first time a professional storyteller asked if I'd teach her one of my stories (I was a teenager by then). Endless fun. Thanks to all the older generation of adults who created folk's nomadic village and made it work.
