Don't know what part of the Midlands you're in, but Cathy Lesurf & friends are running a festival at Thoresby Park near Ollerton (north Notts) Friday & Saturday 5 & 6 July - "the world in one county." From memory it's £15 (£2 for kids) and a nominal charge for camping. If you're interested in this one, semd me a personal message and I'll give you Cathy's email address. (Tickets, and maybe some details, are available from Nottingham Playhouse - 0115 9419419.)

On a somewhat larger scale there's the annual Fairport Convention reunion at Cropredy, 8-10 August. I wouldn't be surprised if Cathy's on the bill there too. The Cambridge Folk Festival (August 1-4) has the most spectacular line-up, as usual - all days sold out.
