Subject: UK Folk Festivals over Easter ? From: Essex Girl Date: 08 Mar 02 - 06:00 PM Does anyone know of any Folk Festivals in the UK over this Easter (29th March - 1st April) Dave and I are looking for an event with plenty of good song sessions, rather than just concert events. We would need somewhere to park our caravan. |
Subject: RE: UK Folk Festivals over Easter ? From: Madam Gashee Date: 08 Mar 02 - 06:45 PM Lancaster is the only place to be at Easter! Although it is a maritime fest rather than folk. Don't know where you could park your caravan though? |

Subject: RE: UK Folk Festivals over Easter ? From: Essex Girl Date: 11 Mar 02 - 08:46 AM Thanks for all the info. Lancaster is my first choice, but we are very interested in Poynton as well. Probably see some of you at either of these. |
Subject: RE: UK Folk Festivals over Easter ? From: Dave Bryant Date: 12 Mar 02 - 04:34 AM Thanks for the suggestions - if we can find a suitable caravan site we'll be at Lancaster, although we might pop in to Poynton on the way. How many Catters are planning to get to Lancaster ? |

Subject: RE: UK Folk Festivals over Easter ? From: GUEST,KB@work Date: 12 Mar 02 - 06:12 AM We (Mark, Kris & Amoret) will be at Gosport & Fareham festival. We intend to get to the late night stuff at Lee on Solent this year - if we can stay sober long enough...... Kris |
Subject: RE: UK Folk Festivals over Easter ? From: Noreen Date: 12 Mar 02 - 06:15 AM Yes, that Hammerite is a terror for the Guinness, Kris... :0) |
Subject: RE: UK Folk Festivals over Easter ? From: Dave Bryant Date: 12 Mar 02 - 07:04 AM We thought about going to Gosport because it was nearer, but we thought that the ticket price of £50 was a bit steep. Lancaster has a lot more people booked that we either know or want to hear. |
