Thread Name: Sheffield Folk festival 2010
Subject: RE: Sheffield Folk festival 2010
Errr......the Venue has just shut down Folk nights with Charlie Barker! Though the Wortley Folk CLub has moved there and indeed hosts Kevin Dempsey and Peter Knight this weekend.

Mark Davies runs a small traditional festival at Bradfield - I go to that every year.

There is no doubt as M.C. Fat says - there are problems seeking a venue - and there is a distinct lack of camping places.

However Sheffield people do support other festivals in large numbers (Shepley being a great example). I am not sure another festival is a good idea in the current climate anyway.
