There is a festival taking place on Sunday 8th June at Tiddenfoot Waterside Park, Leighton Buzzard. There will be the usual events, plus the organisers have invited, in the words of the Promotions Officer 'Folk Musicians'. She has said that other musicians would be very welcome on a casual basis.

So if anyone is interested, she can be e-mailed at Donna.Hughes@Leighton-Linslade.org.uk

What a pity about the date - it clashes with our early Summer Folk Barbecue, otherwise Linda and I would definitely be there. Hope it goes well.

Alas, I shall be in Greece so I'll miss it this year.

My daughter's young man comes from LB, so they might come along, and so might I.

Great Linford (where I live, in Milton Keynes) Waterside Festival is on from Fri-Sun 20-22 June. I see there are some bands descried variously as Folk, Acoustic/bluegrass/country, Blues/rock, and other unlikely combinations. Funny, I put my name down last year; they put Mrs P on the committee, but managed to lose me from the musical list. I suppose that should encourage more people to come!

I've just received a flyer about the festival & there seems to be quite a lot going on, 'folk music' is one of the attractions listed.

If anyone does come along, then come & say hello to us, we will be on nb Damascena, or with Bedfordshire Lace, I am the female musician (the one not in Dancers kit).
