   About Crawley Folk Festival
That's it for another year folks!

Take three sunny days, over 100 performers, around 3500 visitors and 6000 pints, and you have got the recipe for a weekend to remember! Crawley Folk and Beer Festival 25 - 27 June 2010 attracted crowds from across the country, who came to soak up the atmosphere in The Hawth Grounds, peruse the stalls, watch the dance displays, listen to top performers from across the globe and enjoy a pint or two of some of the finest ales on offer in the UK.

The weekend got off to a blistering start with Americana-inspired October Rising, who opened on the new Beer Tent Stage. The free performances on this stage proved a huge hit with the crowds who were drawn to listen to an array of bands across the weekend, offering up folk, Americana, blues and Irish tunes to accompany the food, drinks and other activities being enjoyed.

The highlights came thick and fast from the likes of Rún, and the Jemima Price Band, with the Martin Simpson Trio packing out the woodland Amphitheatre as the sun went down on Saturday. On Sunday, celebrated Australian blues-rock guitarist Geoff Achison and The Souldiggers closed the festival with a bang as they performed with all the passion and explosive energy audiences have come to expect from the band.

Crawley Beer Festival was exceptionally popular, with a number of the 70 plus ales, ciders and perries selling out and overall sales well ahead of last year. The selection on offer included Kissingate’s Old Tale Porter and Warlock, both brewed in Crawley, and King’s Old Dad from Horsham, so festival goers really could enjoy a truly first class local tipple.

Crawley Folk Festival would like to say a massive thank you to eveyone who joined us over the weekend, we hope you had as much fun as we did!

Keep checking our myspace page for details of next year's fest and we will see you very soon.

Poem cum song 5 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (see my Blog for details):
STATE TO STATE

(TUNE:

C F G F

C F G F
C F G F

C F F F)

From Sydney Town,
    In uni. break,
I drove out west
    To earnings make
Onion picking,
    On the fields
Of Echuca,
    That year’s yields.

After day’s work,
    From Y.H.A.,
A group of us
    Would not delay
To walk on down
    To the dirt rim
Of the Murray,
    For a cool swim.

On one such day,
    I do declare,
Some three of us
    Had a big dare
To swim across,
    From state to state,
The wide Murray -
    I took the bait.

Yes, foolishly,
    I took the bait -
A choice that I
    Would come to hate,
For I almost
    Did drown that date,
Making the swim
    From state to state.

Poem 187 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse
(see my blog for details):  
A SOUTH SHIELDS WALKABOUT - AUTUMN 2001 

Out of the museum-and-gallery 
(Wiser on Cookson and the local way), 
Down Ocean Road with, to the right of me, 
Its eateries and, left, neat places to stay; 
Before, on either side, Marine Parks - 
The southern-one a most beautiful place, 
Teeming with moorhens, swans, grebes and mallards 
In a small lake at a scenic-hill’s base. 

Then (holding chips from the parade’s cafe 
And, thus, a flock of gulls squawking above) 
Onto the South Pier I made my way: 
Seeing seaweed over rocks - like a glove - 
And high-and-dry sands held from transgression 
By growth of grass and the weaving of wood, 
Plus, in the dim light of a sleepy sun, 
Fishing boats returning to Tynemouth’s hood.
