Many thanks for a wonderful day on Saturday - excellent festival, something for everyone, as all good festivals should be. A shining example of a well run festival!!

“We had a fantastic time …. the most enjoyable gig we have been involved in” – The Cohen Brothers


”Just to say I travelled up from Bristol to see the show last saturday, and never enjoyed myself so much in a long long time.  Worth every penny of the £10 - well organised, great food and drink, great weather, great bands, great atmosphere.” – Marion Hill

 

“Just wish to pass on our thanks to everyone involved with Blues at the Fold this weekend, it was terrific in all aspects we certainly enjoyed the music and the venue.” - Bob & Mick from Dudley

 

“Once again, thanks for a great day.” Paul & Sam Taylor

 

“It's such a lovely event and we love to get involved and then dance in the evening. Thankyou for a great evening! Good for the soul.” – Julie & David

 

”Just like to say thanks for the excellent organisation at The Blues at The Fold. The atmosphere was brilliant, the food and drink were first class and all the staff worked so hard. Congratulations on a superb day.” - Brian

 

This was our first visit to the Fold and we loved it! Just one suggestion to help newbies - recommend that people bring their own seats!  We didn't realise we'd have to and struggled a bit towards the end of the night.  Only a small issue which didn't spoil the overall experience of an amazing blues extravaganza. We'll be back

Hi Oliver

I have met you at one of the Bob Jones blues nights at the cellar bar. I attended the Blues at the Fold event and I had a superb day out. Excellent bands throughout the day and several awesome guitar playing displays. Paul Cowley was good, as I like all types of blues, but perhaps another acoustic set in between the bands would have been good. Great day though and I look forward to next year, providing I survive the three days at Upton first though.

 

Regards Peter

 

Hi,

Just some feedback about our experience of the festival at the Fold.

We found it on the internet and on the spur of the moment decided to give it a go. Having phoned ahead to check we could get in.....we were traveling 90 miles to come to it.....we found the organisers helpful and friendly. We had no idea what to expect, though didn't realise it was such a 'village' event. However, we thought the musical line up was great, beer and food was good....nice to see veggies catered for!.....and had a great day - Thanks!

Ally and Marc

 

What an excellent event.  Can't think of anything that could improve that.  Well Done, looking forward to next years.

Regards, Richard Sumner

 

Hi All - A great day!

Major comment ref the dancing area: it's really hard on the feet and shoes. A non-gravel substrate would be much appreciated! Thanks for a wonderful event

Hi Oliver

We had a great time – I thought the festival had a really good atmosphere and the setting was fab.  The staff and helpers were also very smiley and helpful, which is always a good thing!

Monica & Earl

 

Hi Oliver,

We and our friends had a great time at the Fold Blues Festival. We really liked the Cohen Bros, Trevor Burton and your Big Blues Tribe Band. The atmosphere was excellent and the food/drink very good. We did struggle a bit to find anywhere to sit as we didn't arrive until 1700, so until we got up to dance couldn't see the performers. We are looking forward to next year and hope Sue and you enjoyed it despite the pressure of organising/performing.

Pete

 

Seven of us attended the fest in the end, and every single one of us had a fab time. We arrived around 3 and left before penultimate song (to avoid car park rush). Highlights? … there were so many:

The 4 bands we heard – all with different styles – something for everyone

The relaxed atmosphere – smiling faces everywhere you looked

The food – Iain particularly enjoyed the spicy chutney in sausage rolls – I particularly enjoyed the local perry!

A chance to catch up /gossip during switch over between acts

Us girls enjoyed a mooch around the shops (and could still hear the music, which was great) and a dance at the end of the evening

The price was great!!

Please pass on a big thank you to all the ‘singists/playists’ for their talent/entertainment, and the Fold for their hospitality. Roll on next year – please don’t change a thing!

Merrie & Iain Roberts

 

Hi, Just a bit of feedback for the festival which I thought was excellent and great value for money. All the best Mike

 

I thought the last Blues at the Fold was superb, with a good variety of class bands and soloist(s) and certainly excellent value for money. The venue really suited me and my wife. It is of course quite small, but that makes for a 'homely' atmosphere. Food and drink was in plentiful supply and all of good quality, though some a little expensive. Overall it is difficult to see how things could have been improved. I am certainly keen on attending future such events. Very well done.

 Regards - Colin

Hi to The Gang at The Fold!!
I did enjoy the Blues night that you put on the atmos was friendly and fun enjoyed meeting up with old friends and making new! The food was yummy and the real ale went down a treat! My 5 year old daughter really enjoyed herself and felt she was safe to make friend and have fun. All the staff in the cafe deserve a pat on the back as the looked hot and tired but still had friendly chat and smiley faces
Well done all
Sue and Isabel xx
