proceedings! |

Crazy Crow
It's far too long since Crazy Crow appeared on the Folk Train. In fact
they've gone through a somewhat dormant period but I'm pleased to say
that these Irish music specialists now appear regularly at the Irish
Heartland and are making a welcome return to the Folk Train. |

The Down Trodden String Band
A competent outfit from the Bakewell area who originally came together
to accompany Appalachian dance team Well
Heeled. Now they are respected specialists in American Old Time
music.
(We may have a couple of dancers along to liven the proceedings)

Airs and Graces
Sheffield's all-female ceilidh band makes a welcome return. With
melodeon, fiddle, concertina/sax, and percussion expect some
entertainingly good music and a song-or-two as well |

Sheffield City Morris Men
I sometimes wonder - organiser's perks aside - whether I'm justified in
bringing back my own motley collection of music-makers, dancers and
singers for this first summer spot, but every year we go down a storm
and there are glowing compliments. Who am I to argue with my public!

Handsworth Sword Dancers (tbc)
One of Sheffield's two historic, traditional sword dance teams (the
other is Grenoside Sword Dancers) but more than a sword dance team -
with some surprises as well! |
