More information will be added as and when I am given it.

|
14 Jul 08 - 10:57 AM (#2388452) Subject: RE: Good News Sheffield Folk Festival 2008 From: GUEST,MC Fat Not sure yet we intend to keep them as low as possible but it may be individual tickets rather than a full festival ticket. One thing we are thinking of doing is that indoor camping etc will be £10 per night but will include a full english breakfast |

16 Jul 08 - 08:35 AM (#2390516) Subject: RE: Good News Sheffield Folk Festival 2008 From: muppitz Great stuff mate, good to hear the flag is being firmly flown in your neck of the woods! (Me and George are quite reasonable if you've got room, although if you were looking to fit a *small* one in, Tom might be your better bet!) Will we be seeing you at Saddleworth this weekend? muppitz x |

16 Jul 08 - 02:50 PM (#2390821) Subject: RE: Good News Sheffield Folk Festival 2008 From: GUEST Just to add to he plaudits for Skyhook, I've just finished writing a review of their CD and it is one of the most positive reviews I've had the pleasure to write! Eoin Teather has one of the best, new to me, voices I've heard for a long time and the playing is impeccable. Sounds like the Sunday should be a great gig then! Look forward to hearing more about the line up Joe G |

17 Jul 08 - 03:22 AM (#2391163) Subject: RE: Good News Sheffield Folk Festival 2008 From: GUEST,MC Fat Eoin is not new he has been a hidden gem in Sheffield for years and is in my mind the most complete folk musician in the region a powerfull voice with a guitar style thats great for both song and tune accompaniment but the groups as whole give a great sound Martin Harwood and Cath James are superb consumate fiddle players with touch presence and genuine talent. In short thay are as you say impeccable and deserve to be huge. |
