Previous Years 2008

Many thanks to everyone who came along to make our 2008 festival such a great success. You can even relive some of those magic moments on youtube filmed by simmo7ts.

Particular thanks to those of you who contributed to the collection for breast cancer at either the open air Ceilidh or the Songs of Praise. We raised a fantastic £330. If you missed it then you can donate on-line and see Brian our local Black Sheep sales manager - and supporter of the Folk Weekend - who's riding to the Arctic Circle on a motorbike!!

What you had to say................


"Just to say that 6 females from Wigan had a wonderful time at the festival, we did loads of workshops and particularly enjoyed the Appalachian dancing and the Djembe drumming! Kathryn Tickell was brilliant and the sun on Sunday just topped things off nicely, nice of you to arrange that for us!"

"We had a great time – never been to a folk festival before. Glad we did - we might be converts! Highlight for me was the fantastic hospitality at the Wheatsheaf and the impromptu performance by the Free Sandwiches on Saturday night. See you next year"

"Brilliant weekend and the rain didn’t seem to make any difference.The Three Horse Shoes was an excellent extra venue…great to have the sing around and musicians sessions in Ingleton in two pubs. Sunday got off to a great start with the open air service. People make us feel so welcome and chat. I enjoyed the open air concert at the The Falls café…always a good variety there ,and the Keepers Fold Gig at the Ex servicemens …as good as ever...."
