02 Mar 10 - 05:15 AM (#2853873) Subject: RE: Doncaster Folk Fest 2010 From: GUEST,MC Fat (at work) In fairness to the organisers I think they were waiting to see if they got a grant before announcing. I'm MC'ing the concerts on Saturday and hosting the survivors session on Sunday. |

02 Mar 10 - 01:55 PM (#2854291) Subject: RE: Doncaster Folk Fest 2010 From: HipflaskAndy Some, above, seem a tad irate... I only posted a heads-up on here (and please don't shoot this messenger) because I saw another thread from Hissyfit, who are performing at this fest which mentioned it in passing. I did a quick check around to see if the organisers had put owt on here. I have no part of the fest organisation - my band, too, are merely booked as artists Nope - they seem to have 'missed a trick' - missed the oppo to get a few extra bods on board by posting (for free) on dear ol' Mudcat! Hence my eleventh hour effort. But they HAVE advertised elsewhere, I must add. I've seen a (no doubt) paid-for quarter page ad in a national music publication (for one example). I cut it out for m' scrapbook! I do feel sorry for those that might have made it given more of a heads-up (though to rely on Mudcat-alone for fest info doesn't make for best planning, I'd have thought?) Nevertheless, I've done my best having stumbled upon Donny's possible oversight on the freebie publicity front. Those who can make it can have a reet knees-up as the McF Band will see the night off with all the best of their uptempo stuff - leaving out all the slow and artier stuff for 'dance purposes'. Get yer dancin' duds n clogs on! Mebbe see ya - Dunc |

02 Mar 10 - 02:09 PM (#2854306) Subject: RE: Doncaster Folk Fest 2010 From: Bloke in the Corner Now stop all this bickering and chattering, where will the best session be? Teg, tell me, you know the sort of thing I like when it comes to music! And I've not heard your dulcet tones for too long. I might well be up for a run across to Donny if there's a sesh that's worth it. Of course, whether you'd want ME there is quite another thing... See ya. Lawrie |

02 Mar 10 - 03:30 PM (#2854382) Subject: RE: Doncaster Folk Fest 2010 From: Sooz We'll be there on Friday night but have other commitments for the rest of the weekend which is a shame. |

02 Mar 10 - 06:33 PM (#2854526) Subject: RE: Doncaster Folk Fest 2010 From: GUEST,Rattler The website has basic details of the festival - http://www.angelfire.com/planet/doncasterfolk/ and phone numbers of organisers. As I understand, indoor camping could still be arranged (though the original venue fell through). There is space for campervans / caravans, but ring first. I'm sure tickets will still be available. Late confirmation of funding is a perennial problem for smaller festivals; but especially so for those early in the year when there isn't the opportunity to "pass the word around" in the weeks before. P.S. Anyone feeling the compelling urge to reward the morris dancers' efforts will will find a warm welcome in the Mason's Arms on Saturday lunchtime. Cheers! R. |

If there's a DFF next year please put it on here earlier - even as a 'hopefully upcoming'. Thanks for putting it up this year Hip. |
