Anyone know if Folkbeat Derby is happening in 2006? I went a few years ago and enjoyed it. I'm trying to find out if it is on again this year but am struggling to find out any details. It was a weekend of music workshops and folk-flavoured concerts held in Derby, England. All the searches I do on the net seem to end up with old links which don't work. I am beginning to think it is not on. Shame, because it was a good event.
Thanks for any info about it.

Errr, thanks for that Villan :-) I will check the links and stop giggling in a smutty way eventually, about the suggested name for his Lordship!

PS Villan, I've just tried using that email address and it, too, like my previous attempts has been returned as not recognised. I'll try some of the phone numbers tomorrow and see if I have any luck with those, thanks.

LOL
Try getting in touch with Mick Peat who does Folkwaves on Radio Derbyshire and ask him if he knows anything about it. If he doesn't. I will be surprised.
