That we know about and enjoy. Post them here.

We can get Joe to sort them into different countries later

I think it's time that Mudcat had it's own Festival listing.
I don't mean all the BIG ones . Although they can be included.
I mean all the nice little ones that we know about and enjoy. The ones with nice fringe events.

All countries to be included.

How about that?

Terry I think we met first at the very last Miskin.
Pity that Miskin is lost

Which like White Horse didn't/doesn't really have any fringe.
Didn't and don't need it.
Can't call the Bell and the Volunteer really fringe as they are part of it all. Although they are free.

However the good news is that White Horse is a cracking festival.
Good concert, workshops, barn dance, sessions, ale, camping, breakfast.
Also very easy on the pocket.

Anyone happening to be in the north of Germany next Whitsun (Mid-May, I think), come and see us on the Scheersberg. That festival has been going for 35 years right on the shores of the Baltic Sea. Mainly for musicians, it'

Sorry, hit the wrong button, and the completion got lost in cyberspace. As I was saying - it's mainly for the musicians themselves, not so much for audiences, with sessions, workshops and informal (and a couple of formal) concerts, and completely uncommercial, not a food stall in sight! Chas, do try and come over - I'll give you a lift from Kiel.

quite big to me that should have read. If you are going and at the risk of teaching my grannie to suck eggs, make sure you catch James Hill and Ann Davidson - "ukelele virtuoso" does not do him justice.

Dave, before you get the wrong idea: It's communal meals for those attending the courses, drinks from vending machines, and a self-run bar at night doing a brisk business. Lots of folk dancing, too!
