A great festival where the majority of the guest artists stay all weekend and join in.

None of this helicopter landing pad - perform - helicopter landing pad

Try to get there for some of the time.

Sad but true. I think Angie and Ken wanted it to continue but there is a continual battle getting 'bums on seats' etc, so decided it is time to call it a day.
It's a great shame. Maybe we can get a good turnout for it and try to persuade them otherwise!

Are you sure.
I played at four fools folk club and stayed with Ken and Angie at their house in April,and no mention was made of it being the last

Another piece of sad news. What is the world coming to?
I've not managed to get to FFF for the past two or three years, sadly, but I came to some years before that and always found it one of the best in so many ways, not just in its well run and friendly organisation and great atmosphere and an excellent mix of performers.
So what's the story then Barb'ry?

I'm sad to hear it will be the last. 2006 was my first. The organizers did a great job, I thoroughly enjoyed myself there. It was a highlight of my visit to the UK.

Alio, I'd heard rumours that it was to be the last Saddleworth as well!?

Four Fools is a great little festival. I know it's had to move around a bit but the organisers always do a splendid job in creating a special atmosphere and plenty of great music free from hype.

The last? I'm sorry, last year was my first. Mind you, was a bit perplexed to find a "Celebrating 20 years of Shopmobility" banner as the tour bus pulled in...

This year's Four Fools Folk Festival is going to be the last one so it would be great to see lots of you there. It's 29th 30th June and 1st July and has some fantastic guests:
Alison McMorland and Geordie McIntyre, Tom Napper and Tom Bliss, Bernard Wrigley, Steve Turner, Brian Peters, Peta Webb and Ken Hall, Dave Webber and Anni Fentiman, Shellback Chorus and a whole pile of morris sides, to name but a few on the list!
The festival takes place at Lostock Hall Community High School but there is a fine real ale bar and food (and cakes).
There are also lots of singarounds and music sessions, so plenty for everyone to do.
Have I sold it?
