A
great line-up of Beehive Folk Club regulars
entertained a packed and
highly appreciative audience, which spread into the other coach. On the
return performers swapped between the ends of
the train to keep the audience happy.

A new record of 20 was
set by The Well-Dressed Band for

more packed than ever!

Sheffield City Morris had better
luck with the weather than we had over the past two years. Guest spots

Handsworth Sword Dancers had less
luck with the weather but managed to dodge the heavier showers and
perform the 'Lads and Dads' Sword dance and their renowned 'tup' play
outside, with music, song and clog dancing inside The Rambler.

Treebeard appeared in front of what
must have been a record audience but there was such a crowd that
members of the band were told they couldn't board the train on the
return trip!

In contrast, Wholesome Fish had a low turn-out
and I suspect that the mad-house conditions in August might have put
off a number of people. If so they missed a real treat which had them
dancing in the aisles.

With the Sheffield Folk
Festival moribund for this year, we had something very similar to our
usual Festival review, basing the event around the recent Music for Malcolm charity session
at Kelham island Museum - Mobile
Music for Malcolm. We raised £200 - well done everyone.

After Oxjam pulled out
of the proposed charity outing, our old friends Scuppered stepped into the breach
and gave us an excellent evening..

The wintry
weather had set
in - and we didn't realise for how
long!
- but audience and performers braved the elements for
another excellent evening of more unusual Christmas songs, in
stunning four-part harmony, from the Sheffield
Folk Chorale.
