Well the programme has now gone to the printer and with luck should be out on the streets by the end of Thursday.
Anyone who wants to find out just what is planned for the weekend will be able to purchase one for the bargain price of £1 from the Tourist Information Office in Holmfirht and no doubt other location throughout the town.
So roll up chaps and chappesses, sheep, goats and penguins and get your copies.

Just a suggestion - how about opening up a second Holmfirth thread for festival information so as to keep it separate from the small talk and chat?

How can you suggest that there is small talk and chat when some of it is just plain rubbish ......... see below. Furthermore Tyke likes sheep and loves to talk about them .... when he's not being intimate with them that is

I'll repeat my last post whilst apologising for my spell checker interpretation of Raggytash.
A Saturday Night Whitby Endeavour type sessions in the Elephant sound like a great idea to me. We had a lot of fun in there the year before last. I blame Raggyarse, Dave O Dee Day, Dozy Derrick and a few more miscreants. I do remember the regulars in the Elephant who kept insisting on buying rounds of drinks for the Musicians. However my memory is a bit hazy I can't remember if we went on strike to stop Raggyarse singing the Flower of Scotland or to get someone to buy a round of drinks so that we would let him sing it. So put the word out and lets try and recreate the atmosphere. Anyone else's is up for the Elephant Saturday night? I get Ken Stocks down there and Marie Blackburn. How about you Mando Man are you coming over with Angi?

Kyte my favourite little sheep sh**ger, I will look forward to seeing you in the Elephant and Large building somethimes used for defensive purposes on the Saturday of HOLMFIRTH FESTIVAL OF FOLK



thought I'd better put that last bit in so Cath doesn't smack my legs

As Tyke has added a link to the holmfirthfestivaloffolk web site we really must get the stuff on the web site corrected!
Believe me we are doing our best but something keeps getting in the way which I can't go into here for fear of prosecution.
Never fear, the programme should have started to roll at the printers today and will be out for sale on Friday this week so we will have the definitive information in there.
So don't get too excited about the Holmfirth Coral Society - you won't be expected to go deep sea diving for coral.
And don't expect any of the turns to be performing in the pubs from 8pm - 12pm because they won't be, more likely 9pm - 10.30 in the Nook/Carniceria and 8.30pm - 10.00pm in the other pub venues.
And expect to be charged for the Saturday night ceilidh with the Red Parrots because it isn't free.
And make sure you get your tea because Sheila won't be serving free sandwiches at the Nook on Saturday night - but Free Sandwiches will be playing there!

I would like to support what Uncle Bulgaria said from a day or so ago.

I don't want to do the school marm bit but it is proving a bit frustrating to get accurate information out through the web site and a bit soul destroying when we hear from people as close as Meltham and Honley that there is no festival this year.

Press releases have gone to all the local press and media, posters are going up and 10000 flyers have gone somewhere! There's even a big banner over the Hospice shop in the middle of Holmfirth

Please do all you can to pass the word as far as possible. Tell them there are still camping places available, the weather is on order, the programme is out on Friday and there's loads of stuff to do that will only cost you your beer money and a contribution in the collection bucket.

If anyone out there would like to help a bit more than just turning up please drop me an email to [e-mail]

It's a poor and declining thread when people have nothing to say and gust keep adding banalities or mono-trash to continually "refresh".
If you've nothing to contribute that makes sense and adds value to the forum shut up and let it fall off the page with some dignity and respect!

Thank you Soldier Boy - just what I wanted to say but daren't!!

Anyway the programme is now collected and available from tomorrow at the Tourist Information Office and the various festival venues and sponsors around the town.
If perchance Sheila hasn't managed to get them to all the sellers when you rush in to buy one your best bet is The Nook/Carniceria.
If anyone tells you they aren't there tell them Cath says they are - 7 boxes were offloaded there at 5.30 Thursday afternoon.

I don't want to be a party pooper but I'm going to see if I can start a new thread so that people who want information or to offer help or throw money our way don't have to trawl through quite such a huge list of messages.
I'm going to try and do the blue clicky link thing but, bearing in mind that I'm still new at this game, I might do it wrong.

Good on ya Cath. What Cath really means (but is too polite to say!) is so that people.....don't have to trawl through such a huge amount of c**p to find the bare bones and get all the facts.
This thread has lost its thread so many times there is no thread and it's now threadbare....so it's time for a new thread.
