Hy Kampervan how you doing

Yes I have just had a good look at the video of the new Beverley folk festival at Beverley Racecourse from the festival website!

Personally I have never been a fan of outdoor marquees etc but the video gives a really good impression of what the 30th Anniversary is likely to look like!

It is they say about 15/20mins walk from the town centre, if fit not too great a distance and for many it will be Sun Inn/Tap to camp site late at night or something akin

I would urge all to look at the website and make your own decision

Bigger festivals are probably more attractive to younger people and times change

Many years we spent (The Barnsley Lads ~ Booker and Padgett running singarounds) in the likes of Nellies and the Sun/Tap and Spile in the company of Jim McDonald and Les and Maggie from Hull and had folk club sessions in Nellies with Brenda and Norrie and Geoff Turner.

and not to forget Danny Couper!

Lot of work to organnise with Chris Wade and Ray Williams and Beverly folk club people in the early days

Best wishes to all in the new team for the 30th
