Hopefully at soome point.

Only thing slightly putting me off is the report from a friend who was there recently that a pint of beer is over £3. Just have to drink less I suppose.

I've had a snoop around the web but can't find any details of this festival - can you point me in the right direction?

Ta,

Try http://www.greendragonhardraw.co.uk/
The landlord is having probs with the website at present - but keep an eye on it for an update.

Dates of this year's are as Gerry posted above (27th-29th July)
and this small but vibrant fest centres entirely round the hugs pub - the Green Dragon.
It's mostly free and very participant orientated (singers/musician sessions, dance teams etc)
Only the eve concerts to pay into (optional!)

This year sees the great Dave Burland in concert for a start!
I'll post more, soon, when I find out who else.....
Cheers - Duncan

Hipflask, in your first post on this thread you said "hugs pub" - pity I'm missing it this year!

I'll definitely not miss next year because I enjoyed last year's so much. Anyone that's not been before - go!

Still no details more recent than 2005 on either of the sites linked above, and only a few days to go. Not much use that!

Anyone got any info please? It's a long and arduous journey to make on spec...

You could contact the Green Dragon directly for info.

As Moorley Man said Nutty, no recent details since 2005.

Thanks Nutty for your wellmeaning "clicky", but as Suzi rightly said the site's still not been updated.
In my experience, phoning a venue will rarely get a sufficiently detailed response re timings etc to enable plans to be made.

As it is the landlord of the pub that is very involved in the organisation of this event (or he has been in the past) ... a phone call may well get you the info you need.

Yes I phoned a while ago and the person I spoke to went away and asked some one if the festival was on this year and then came back and said yes it was so there wasn't any point in asking him anymore!

Gerry - I've changed my plans - get those hugs ready for the weekend! I'll look out for you and Ani.

I totally agree Gerry. It was brilliant. The pub was heaving all weekend, there was something different going on in every room and all of it was spontaneous fun. (The singarounds were fantastic)! Thanks to Steve for making it happen and the Landlord and staff for working so hard. Even the weather was great!

It was indeed a most excellent weekend.We were dubious about going after a mudbath in Stainsby last week. But aren't we glad we did!!
The weather was good, tho' not quite as hot as last year.

Everything Gerry and Chris have said and more.

It was great to see Dave Burland performing solo again and Pete Morton stepping in to replace Alan Taylor.

The Hall Brothers & Co and Duncan's bands were brilliant, sets performed with gusto by people who were obviously enjoying themselves.

Thanks again to Steve & Mark

It was a grand weekend - how DOES Steve manage to get the good weather for all his festivals?!

Lots of Mud Hugs, good beer and even more great music. As Michael said, it's great to see performers enjoying themselves - the audiences just couldn't sit still. It's not often I get up and jig but I did this weekend - thanks Duncan & Band, I ache now!

See lots of you again at Steve's next "gathering" - Otley Festival in September.
