The HOLMFIRTH FESTIVAL OF FOLK – 6 May 2017

Unfortunately some changes must have been made to the blogspot system as I can now only use one of the seven fonts available and not the one I would normally use..  I get fed up with the 'improvements' that get thrust upon us.

However, now with the text forever in Ariel as the best option, some images of the Holmfirth Festival of Folk.  I heard it may be the last one but no explanation was available.

These ladies were doing some slow hip swinging to a very quiet amplifier. Sort of Eastern Promise stuff.

 One doesn't have to be a performer to dress up a bit! Actually it was the bike I was interested in.

 I guess this must be Irish dancing?  He brought his own board  and music and set to..

After performing around Holmfirth, the participants gathered for a parade through the streets then up to the park for an extravaganza there.
