The First Bradfield Traditional Music Weekend

High Bradfield, South Yorkshire: 13 - 15 August 2004

Photo: Will Noble and John Cocking of the Pennine Concert Party The English Country Music Weekend for 2003 was held at Edgemount Farm in High Bradfield. The event was an outstanding success, and in response to many requests Mark Davies, who organised it and made his farm available for the weekend, has agreed to organise another event this year. This is independent of the English Country Music Weekend 2004, which will be held at Postlip Tythe Barn, Nr Winchcombe, Gloucestershire, 25-27 June. The Bradfield weekend will follow a broadly similar model and promises to be an unmissable event.
