Thanks for the info Noreen - I will try and get there.

I'm afraid I do have a bit of an issue with Salford council though. Not just this but other things as well. Wouldn't you think that as the only active folk club in Salford, and at the heart of Salfords administration, Swinton folk club would have been involved? We have not even been invited. I only know of it through the Mudcat! They know we exist - they subsidise the festival. What do we have to do to get the approval of our local authoroity? Ah well, rhetorical question I guess. The council know that they can get away with anything. Put a red rosette on a pig and they would vote for it around here...

Saddened by the slight but hopeful for the future.

Cheers
