HOLMFIRTH FESTIVAL OF FOLK 2014 - 1



Holmfirth Folk Festival Part 1

This weekend was the Holmfirth Folk Festival.  The place was alive with musical events in the pubs and clubs but also in the streets where I lingered yesterday and enjoyed the spectacle, despite the extension of wet wintery weather we have been granted.  It was heavy skies and occasional gusty rain but it didn’t dampen the pleasure of the event.

I took a few pics so decided to stick some of them on here in three groups so that they download reasonably quickly.  The first group being some of the performances, the second some of the personalities, and the third of the procession and finale in the park.  They illustrate what a lively place Holmfirth is and to those abroad who look on here, (thank you and I don't know how you find this site), a touch of our eccentricity and culture.






 














A lot of effort went into the success of the Folk Festival, not least the colourful crocheted bunting along the riverside railings!
