Folk Festival


Program of Events


The format this year is to give as many people as possible 45 minute sets with 15 minutes for setting up in between. Pete Brown has once again very kindly offered his services as sound engineer; he did such a wonderful job at last year's event and I know many people enjoyed working with him.

As last year I am afraid there will be no money to pay the performers, but I know everybody's good will and generosity will make it another great success.
