Well its that time of year again, and what better way to kick it off, than with a visit to the Holmfirth folk festival.
Welcome to the Holmfirth Festival of Folk
Where the heck is Holmfirth I hear you ask. Well its a small town south of Huddersfield, nestled at the foot of the pennines in the peak district. Some of you may be more familiar with the place if I were to mention "Last of the summer wine" (the worlds longest running sitcom).
Whats it all about this ere festival then?
Well its set over a weekend in may, and varying groups of artists come from all over the country to show us different kinds of folk music, from traditional to contemporary, to just plain bizarre. I suppose its really just about having a good time and damn good piss up. Anyway enough of me babbling on, let me show some footage from this year.
A folk festival wouldnt be a folk festival without some morris dancing.
