Dammit - submitted too soon! Wish this was a permathread.
To quote the organisers:

"We are delighted (and relieved!) to confirm our programme for the "Day of Lincolnshire Folk Music, Dance & Song" on the 8th August.
It is an exciting line-up featuring top performers, including Winter Wilson, Brian Dawson, Bill Whaley and Dave Fletcher, Stewart Hardy, Stitherum and Better Late than Naked - to name but a few!"

There are workshops, singarounds and a concert running right through from 11am.

And it is all FREE.

Have a brilliant day, everyone! It sounds as though it is going to be a really nice day but I can't make it :-(
All the best and hope it goes well.

Looking forward to it too, but such a shame you can't make it Rockhen - we won't get to meet after all.

Definitely a fantastic day. Well thought out, some star turns but most importantly space for people to pay and sing. Which we did to our hearts content.

In total agreement with you, AutoharpBob (and I much enjoyed your company and songs throughout the singaround by the way).
A great atmosphere and some fine singing, star turns or not it didn't matter. And excellent sound for the concert in the courtyard marquee.
Massive congrats to Tom the organiser, and hope that gives all the confidence to so something similar next year - if so, you can count me in!
