Turning Wave Festival 2014
The Turning Wave Festival (19-21 September, 2014) is not too far off. The Forties will be there singing in a couple of concerts and hosting some singing sessions.
Many folkies will remember Len Neary who presided over some great singing sessions over many years. Len died 24 Sept 2013 and we’d like to dedicate this year’s sessions at the Royal Hotel in Yass to his memory.
