The previous thread is at  Sheffield Folk Festival 2008

Perhaps it would be a good idea to combine this one with it.

The Festival website is at  http://www.sheffieldfolkfestival.org/.  Evidently the job of maintaining it has devolved onto me; I will update it as soon as somebody provides me with the information I've asked for via the Festival's internal email list. A job for you, Jim?

Malcolm, thanks for the link, I feel a bit more in the picture now, and while I can't be of any practical use to the festival, living, as it were, quite far away from Sheffield, I wish you all the best of luck with the festival and long may it be held.

I take it the meeting tonight is still happening? Is it just "the committee" or all interested parties?

Thanks

We are looking at 31st October-2nd November the main venue for concerts/workshops will probably change to Burton Street Project. Things still at the planning stage with a new committee
