Beverley Friary is a restored Dominican Friary cited in the Canterbury Tales and is being used as a venue for the People's Voice folk Festival, Beverley: 21st -23rd June 2002.

The Friary is also a Youth Hostel and has accommodation. If anyone wants to stay there during the festival, they still have a bit of space left.

super place! have a good festival. If I wasn't out of work I would probably consider the "Peoples Festival" even if there is no ceilidh!

The whole festival is free and there is a ceilidh on Saturday night.Camping is free too so even those on limited incomes can afford to come.

You only need to be able to cadge a lift. You're greatest expense could be a piece of cardboard with the word BEVERLEY written on it in felt-tip pen. (I suppose that some of you might want to try some of the many beers available that weekend, so it might be best to bring some beer tokens with you)

Yes, the 60 beers on offer in the Sun (hand picked by me) and the special festival brew at Hodgson's (session bitter) mean that the local CAMRA branch are coming "en masse" for a tasting.

The music will be good too (and free)

Incidentally, if you haven't been to Beverley before (or even if you have)we have arranged for a guided historical walk of the town beginning at 11am Sunday (23rd)and finishing at around 12.30 at Beverley's oldest pub - the Sun.

And that is free too

Also if anybody is intersted, Beverley Minster is one of the oldest chuches in England, it's very intersting, especially if you are intersted in that kind of thing.john

Anyone coming to Beverley and interested in music should check out the many carvings of musicians in the Minster - hurdy-gurdy, viol, bagpipe, lute etc. The motif for the Beverley and East Riding Folk Festival (a bagpipe player affectionately known as 'man biting leg of octopus') was designed from one of these carvings.

I'm pretty sure that a look at these figures will feature in the guided walk of historic Beverley on the Sunday morning of the festival - free, of course.

Of course you can also look at the strange contorted faces of the hungover punters as they creep out of their tents in the morning.

Think Gloucester. It's a bit of a haul. If it works-out I will be there, I used to have a billet in Grayburn Lane for festivals but that is now a sleeping dog.............
