I believe they will be located at the Holyhead throughout most of the festival. Huroo for them! Bridgnorth Folk Festival |

Methinks High Town may not be safe. Reckon I could start charging holiday destinations to avoid them. Who'll start me at £50 (I'll even NOT bring my bombarde – now there's a bargain...) |

If this is God's idea of a joke, it's in very bad taste. I sold 200 cups of lemonades less than last year, because it was cold, wet and very windy. Food was good tho' wasn't it. Sal |

03 Sep 04 - 09:18 AM (#1263371) Subject: RE: Bridgnorth FF 27th -30th Aug 2004 From: Moses Why were Cloudstreet not in the main Marquee or Sabrina Hall this year?? They've been booked for next year I'm told. Let's have them out of the overcrowded pubs and on to the main stage where we can all get a chance to hear them and breath at the same time! Mostly enjoyed a good balance of music, though too many folk-rock bands for my personal taste. Food (Maureen and Eddie's Caribbean cuisine always a "must") delicious and great lemonade, Mrs Lemon. Looking forward to next year |

07 Sep 04 - 08:19 AM (#1265861) Subject: RE: Bridgnorth FF 27th -30th Aug 2004 From: Folkie Yes I agree there were far too many folk-rock bands (more rock than folk usually). Generally everything I went to in the marquee was much too loud and the lighting was horribly migraine inducing. Sabrina Hall was much more to my taste even though it was so hot. I was terribly disappointed with the Damien Barber Roadshow. Damien is a fine singer and Bryony an excellent fiddle player but I couldn't hear the words of the songs and I couldn't hear the box player because of the horrid loud drums. |

I wasn't very happy with the Caribbean caterers because they switched on the very noisy generator at 8am and didn't switch it off until 2.30am. We managed to sort out the generator noise at Warwick so please, Alan and Sandra, can we have less engine and more music to the caterers/stall holders ears? Sal |
