Alan Bell - Fylde Folk Festival Director has noted that there have been a lot of enquiries re The Fylde Folk Festival asking if it has been affected by the Foot and mouth outbreak.

The answer is a resounding NO -

The festival will go on as usual.

Are there any Folk Festival going to be cancelled because of the outbreak? as yet I haven't heard of any - lets us know maybe we could start a list?

The list would be extremely small, as no festivals will be closed because of Foot and Mouth.

The countryside is open for business.

Thanks Tony - maybe you'd like to do a national broadcast or maybe a "walkabout" for the Festivals????

A small number of changes due to F & M see notice board at http://www.folk-now.co.uk for updates, and if your festival is affected please feel free to leave a message. All the best Jim

Middlewich Folk and Boat Festival was canceled due to foot and mouth - it should have been a couple of weeks ago.

Broadstairs Folk Week will definately go ahead. No sites are near animals so it won't be affected even if the outbreaks continue.
