Thread Name: What is your favorite UK folk festival?
Subject: RE: What is your favorite UK folk festival?
Love Whitby, have greatly enjoyed Cheddar, Cropredy, Chippenham and, yes, Cambridge (though not so sure I'd like to be there so much without the press pass), but my experience of all festivals is six or more years out of date.
Saltburn may well produce a terrific festival but was a place to be avoided when I was a lad growing up 30 miles or so to the west. There was a workingmen's club trip each year and I still hear the howls of anguish if it was going to Saltburn instead of Whitley Bay and the Spanish City amusement park.
