Subject: RE: Folk Festivals PermaThread™ From: Mark Clark Date: 16 Jul 01 - 05:47 PM The Willow Folk Festival (Aug. 11-12) is held outdoors on the second weekend in August each year on the grounds of the Willow Methodist Church just south of Stockton, Illinois. This festival has been going on for thirty years or more. The attendees are also the featured entertainment so anyone who would like to may play a set. Bob Gibson, among others, used to show up. There used to be camping in the pasture across the road but I haven't been in many years and don't know whether that still holds. Still, I always enjoyed it when I used to go. Great idea for a PermaThread™ Joe & JenEllen. - Mark |

Subject: RE: Folk Festivals PermaThread™ From: Jim Dixon Date: 16 Jul 01 - 06:44 PM Here's the list from Dirty Linen. I have rearranged their list and sorted it by country, state or province, city, and name of festival. To keep this list from becoming quickly obsolete, I have omitted dates, phone numbers, e-mail addresses, exact locations/venues, and specific performers. Those can be obtained from the Dirty Linen site (which is arranged by date) or from the web sites linked-to below. England, Scotland, and Wales are listed separately.
Contributions from several other people have been incorporated into this list. Thanks to Lin in Kansas, Brian Hoskin, Skipper Jack, and Trapper. Also, the list has become too big to fit in one message, so festivals in the USA are given in the next message. --JoeClone, 27-Jul-01.
Also, Bob Berens has a huge list of Folk Festivals in the United States and Canada, organized by state or province. |

Subject: RE: Folk Festivals PermaThread™ From: IvanB Date: 06 Dec 01 - 07:40 PM Actually, Joe and JenEllen, although the National Folk Festival link wtill works, the festival finished its three year run in East Lansing with the 2001 season and will move to (I think) Portland, Maine beginning in 2002. I don't know whether the same link will be retained or not. |

Subject: RE: Folk Festivals PermaThread™ From: GUEST,Sally Potter Date: 14 Oct 02 - 01:29 PM How about a festival where the folks who attend do all of the singing! The Mid-Winter Singing Festival will kick off this Jan 31-Feb 1, 2003 in East Lansing, MI Two huge evening concerts where four well-known folk musicians LEAD the audience in 16 well-known songs (different selections each night) General Admission tickets $12/10/8. Twelve FREE workshops on Saturday afternoon. Again, the attendees sing WITH the songleaders. All afternoon. Sponsored by the 30 -yr. old, healthy Ten Pound Fiddle Coffeehouse, The City of East Lansing, and Double Play Sports. ALL details are at www.singingfestival.com Are you interested in promoting/running a festival like this in your neck of the woods? Contact me and I can help with tickets/arrangements...to visit this one. Folks love to sing. In our society, folks don't get to sing enough. Why not a festival where the songs are the stars of the shows AND everyone makes up the gorgeous sound...all weekend long. Thanks for the opportunity to help spread the word.

Subject: PELs-RE: Folk Festivals PermaThread™ From: Mr Happy Date: 23 Jan 03 - 10:14 AM Here in England & Wales we are once again on the threshold of the Folk Festival season. Camping, singing, music making, dancing, eating, drinking & cavorting,meeting up with old friends, & generally making merry in the great outdoors, with plenty of good company & great craic! A tremendous opportunity presents itself for 'mass disobedience' & flouting of the obscenely restrictive Public Entertainment Licencing rules. Will the 'jobsworths' be hard on our tails, stopping spontaneous outbreaks of humming, whistling,rhythmic swaying,foot tapping, clapping, & so on? Could there be mass arrests of subversive criminal morris dancers & folk musicians & singers? Those with caravans on festival campsites could engage in holding 'legal' music sessions in their vans by towing them around the field, thus taking advantage of the 'moving vehicle' exemption! The authorities would need to set up special fenced camps with watchtowers to contain the hundreds of trios of 'Somerset folksingers' & other traditional culture political prisoners! And of course Howells'[Jowett's] & Blair's secret agenda stealth tax in the form of £20,000 per head in fines could be justified by all the £millions raised to subsidise 'our boys'& 'their boys' sponsored murder & maiming in the next Middle East conflict. What say you? |
