I really fancy going to the abbot's bromley horn dance in staffordshire this year but it's a monday and I'm almost out of holidays and it would probably require 2 days off as it's a very boozy event. If enough people were interested in attending I might organise some unpaid time or see if I can work up any lieu time...

I really like traditional drinky frolicy stuff like this - reminds me of back in the day before all the new age crystal gubbins became popular :)

I think I'll give it a miss, seeing as I'll be expecting to push a baby out about 11 days afterwards...

Oooh. You ol' folky you....We have the Whittlesea Straw Bear which is a curious event....Any rumours that i've been to either the Ottley or Broadstairs folk festivals are entirely spurious !

I used to be well into my folky pagany stuff back in the day (the end of the 80s) and went to some great dos - they're generally good boozy fun. I'm now happily an atheist but still love traditional stuff like this :)

and folk music is my deep dark secret love :P

I'm certainly not Pagan, far from it. But i do rather like some folk bits. Big fan of The Oysterband (oops add ely folk festival as well to that list), Show of Hands are good. Eliza Cathy....Oh and then the more goth style, NMA, Rev Hammer & Blyth Power...Oh and the Levelers, which i'm seeing Sunday. Go Me !

Though it would be nice to don my flowing tye-dye stuff and little fairy shoes,I have this job thing that seems to consume far to much of my time and get in the way of my life ...booo work!

yes yes yeees! Been going since I was a kid - my dad will be dancing there.

Can possibly provide crash space too...

[sarah-orange.livejournal.com]

ooo really? excellent :D

yes it's far closer to birmingham/lichfield than I thought.
I went there after the 1988 pagan festival at leicester and had a look at the horns in the church. nice place :D

It reminds me of this http://www.rushbearing.co.uk/ which I used to go to when I was younger and living in Sowerby Bridge. I think I'll probably end up there this year.

If work doesn't get in the way, I would love to go.

I've been meaning to go the the burning barrel thing in Ottery St. Mary for ages - but I haven't managed it yet.

[redfetishfreak.livejournal.com]
