Folk Fest for Teignmouth

It is always a delight to see and hear traditional English music and dance all around the town and doubly pleasing for me to receive an invitation to the opening concert at the Carlton Theatre. The Folk Festival receive support from the Councillors' Community Fund and Teignbridge residents and visitors certainly get full value for money from this fantastic weekend. Everything was laid on from Punch and Judy for the children, Sea Shanties, Folk Groups, and Morris dancing in the streets. Quirky names like The New Rope String Band, The Widders and Paddy's Whiskers appeared with traditional Morris groups including Shuffle the Deck, Heather and Gorse, Green Willow Clog and Knockhundred Shuttles among the many non-stop performances.
