Interested - but what does 'elbow exercise only' mean? Is it a 'listen and join in when you're told thing' or is there an opportunity for a sing around?
Good luck anyway

This seems like a wonderful combination; can't make it at short notice, but I'd be interested in knowing whether it is an annual event.

Willa - sure is in fact it's how the Fylde Folk Festival began - with The Wyre Walk ending at Fleetwood with folk music and dancing from morris teams - it was such good fun they decided to do it every year - but without the walk and with more and more artists. As a matter of interest Ian Gartside was on the original Wyre Walk and was the first person to sing at what was to become the Fylde Folk Festival.
