Holmfirth Folk Festival

on May 07 in General by Dan

We all went to into Holmfirth for the folk festival yesterday. We didn’t actually go into any of the venues but watched the various dancers dotted around the streets. Amy preferred the clog dancers to the morris, probably because they were a lot less noisy and weren’t attacking each other with stout sticks.

I noticed a fair few of my dads friends dotted around in the crowds and in various bands playing outside pubs. There are times when I would love to be able to play an instrument – mainly whenever I see anyone I know doing it. My music teacher once told me that I have a very good ear for music, which may be true but unfortunately I have a very poor willpower for practice and that’s my downfall.

Maybe I should join a morris-dancing troupe instead.
