The Moira Furnace Folk Festival Committee decided several months ago to commemorate the inspirational idea that Dave Johns had for the festival on the Moira Furnace site by naming the main marquee "The Dave Johns marquee".

When we told Dave of our decision he was touched at our thoughts.

We were pleased to tell him that without Dave Johns there would not be a Moira Furnace Folk Festival.

We are so grateful for your inspirational idea dave. Rest in Peace in the knowledge that you will live on in the folk world for many years to come.
