Thread Name: Middlewich Folk & Boat Festival (2011)
Subject: RE: Middlewich Folk & Boat Festival (England
Copied & pasted -


"...However 'Cheshire Folk' proposal was to insert that aspect of the festival into their event at no risk to the Council.
...... they chose to continue their own with their own plans. Lynne and I as Cheshire Folk are disapointed as we did have some bands who would have really been delighted to take part - but they'll do concerts for our events over the year instead!"

"There won't be a folk festival this year as we used to know it - that website is out of date and put up by the old committee who have all resigned. It's complicated! There will be a fringe of sorts and maybe a band or two! There is Ceilidh and Morris planned."

Perhaps that goes some way to answering the questions posed. No further comment, save to say that we support the Town Council's efforts to ensure that there is a festival for the benefit of the town this year. Enough said.
