Calling all Folk Singers! Do take a look at this and fill out the survey for @fayhield and her wonderful project.
As FWO 2023 drifts into memory, and we gear up for the summer folk festival season - don't forget you can join us and @LiveToYourLR , from the comfort of home for a fabulous night with the Young'uns! What's not to like?! livetoyourlivingroom.com/events/the-you…
One of our dancers has lost his waver. It is one that has great sentimental value and he'd like it back. This is the one he still has; the one lost is green with a flying owl. Lost around the Radcliffe Camera. If you have any info, message us and we'll pass the info on.
Just a week and a bit left to let us know your thoughts on FWO this year! click freeonlinesurveys.com/s/7tL9tZiu to fill out our online survey! We love to hear from you.
We would like your feedback on last weekend. Please fill out our survey as soon as you can so we can evaluate and know what to offer for the future! (deadline for filling in is 4th May) freeonlinesurveys.com/s/7tL9tZiu
