The website says

"Concert 2.00pm
Dave Burland · Swing 'em Fair · Notts Alliance
Deportees · Rose Price

Ceilidh 8.00pm
with Swing 'em Fair and caller Bob Morgan

Plus:
Chance to Meet Dave Burland 7.00pm
Harmony Workshop with Notts Alliance 5.30pm
Music & Song Session 12 noon"

Chester FF always puts on a good day in Feb. with a good concert, and if one of the acts doesn't appeal theres always a good session in another room of the old school (now Community centre). And quite possibly members of the acts that did appeal will be playing in the session. Usually some singing in another room.

I looked up the acts - don't think I've heard Swing 'em Fair, but anything that has Jude from Isambarde in it must be worth hearing.
And they are playing in the Ceilidh - shame it clashes with Liverpools Contra's excellent ceilidh with Rhodri davies calling. Choices, choices.

They say reserve your tickets to be sure of getting in. So I have. Not sure what time they usually sell out, I've had no problem, but then I get there for an early session at 12. I know people have been turned away in the past.
