10 Mar 13 - 07:33 AM (#3488642) Subject: RE: Cleckheaton Folk Festival '13 From: GUEST Clicky's and Links - it just gets better and better. The infamous War of the Roses returns from over the hill for another Lancs/Yorks battle. "What the Folk!" travels from Central England to the North. The Wilson Family will be in the heart of Yorkshire and Russ Hughes returns from the deep South. A truly national event not to be missed !!! |
