“Festivals are an important way in which many people enjoy their folk music and dance. They come in all shapes and sizes – and take place in cities, villages, seaside resorts and green-field sites. They are not just confined to the summer, but take place in every month of the year. Some festivals have a broad range of folk music and dance, while others specialise, for example in sea shanties or different styles of dance.” - Derek Schofield, Editor of English Dance & Song magazine
