THE GLENFARG FOLK FEAST

I have been going to the Glenfarg Folk Feast, Perthshire, Scotland for quite a few years now and it remains the highlight of the Scottish festival scene for me.
It is limited in size because of the location and lack of big venues in Glenfarg Village... and beacuase of that it has never grown too big or lost its unique charm.
It is held every year in mid April and is the first festival of the season for a lot of people. This gives it a freshness after the winter with people starved of that festival atmosphere.

GRANT BAYNHAM in his latest CD (recorded live at Glenfarg) refers to it as "The worlds friendliest festival" with an "Audience who'd clearly just come in from the HowToBeAPureDeadBrilliantAudience Workshop (Including Module 2: HowToProvideTheArtistWithGiftHeckles)
What more can one say?
