17 Mar 08 - 10:17 AM (#2290528) Subject: RE: Dent Folk Festival 2008 From: Banjiman Sessions in pubs and around the festival site (in a teepee I think this year!). On site sessions usually led my master banjoist Bill Lloyd. Excellent fun and a very manageable size. Pay as you go for the main concerts mean that it can be a very cost-effective weekend and you can just see those acts that you really want to. See you there? Paul |

TBC but it looks like Wendy has a slot on the new "Beer Tent" stage which will be fun. Joe G, The best campsite is Mill Beck (well maybe not but it's the one we stay on!!). We had some good sessions on there last year. Paul |
