It was heart-breaking news for many people that Todd In The Hole, a great family festival , was forced to cancel for the second year as they fell just outside the government deadline for the freedom day of July 19th.
However having consulted with the organisers Dave Nye and Mark Watts, local folk organiser and Club President Brian Burke saw a chink of light at the end of the tunnel for the folk section of the festival to be transferred to Letchworth Rugby Club for Sunday, July 18th.
“We were due to do folk from the woods on Sunday” said Brian “so it made sense to take that original program and transfer it to an outside venue that could stage it, albeit with fewer people in the audience.”
Having done a risk assessment with the rugby club steward we are pleased to be able to stage the event with an audience of hundred and twenty people with the existing bands.”
The program will include local bands Skimmington Ride, Beans and Biscuits , and the Tanglers Irregulars as well as national favourites from the Folk World … The Devines. Rising stars Kelvin Davies and Molly Armstrong will also be performing along with other local acts throughout the day which runs from 1pm till 8pm.
Places are now available - just ring Teresa on 07783955049 to receive further details and make a booking. Tickets are £12 for an individual (£10 for LETCHWORTH RUGBY Club members) or £50 for a table of 6.
This will be on a first come basis … so don’t miss out on a small part of a great local festival!
So let’s hope that for this year Todd lives!
