Rochdale folk festival 09:53 - Jun 13 with 2375 views | TomRAFC | Wandered into the midst of Rochdale folk festival this weekend, I hadn't a clue it was on. Live music across the many great pubs in the town center. Got to see some fantastic acts, free of charge, along with some fantastic real ale in the Flying Horse and the Medicine Tap. It might not be everyone's thing, but I saw countless people pop in for a drink and stay for the sort of music they might never think to give a chance. Well done to whoever organised it. Just the sort of thing that can showcase the town. [Post edited 13 Jun 2022 15:05]
