Help: Welsh or Borders festivals - Sept

From: GUEST,leeneia

Recently I asked Mudcatters about folk or music festivals in Wales or the Welsh borders to be held in May or June. Now, however, we are thinking about moving the proposed trip to September.

Does anyone know of any nice (i.e., not beer-sodden) festivals or concerts in September?

Religious, traditional, or classical are all okay.

Thanks.

Who is Rees Wesson? Boat Band is a group, right? Thanks, Snuffy, I will make a note of the Bromyard Folk Festival.

Rees is contactable on here, you could try contacting Sheila Mainwaring, the editor of a local listings/review magazine here, have a word with Sally Vowles on this one, or me here.

The list of seshes I put in the other thread still applies as well, of course.

Cheers.

Sorry, got Sal's e-address wrong, its here.

You might like to have a look at Rees's site, and its just occurred to me that this and this might be handy as well.

Cheers.

As mentioned by Snuffy, Bromyard FF is here (when it is updated to include its 2002 info)!
