The Lineup for 2012 is, subject to confirmation and contract, now complete. Many thanks to the hundreds of artistes who have written to us asking to be included in this year's fesival. Unfortunately, we are unable to find room for any more acts and would like to apologise for not replying to you all individually. The Committee members are all volunteers working in their spare time so we hope you will understand.

We are proud that so many of you think that Holmfirth is a Festival worth performing at.

The Committee has been very busy over the summer and plans are going well.

As well as the Schools Concert and associated events, we have Dance sides invited, concerts planned in the Old Bridge (featuring amongst others Chris Sherburn and Denny Bartley ) and the Church (featuring Roger Davies and Flossie Malavialle), folk club evenings, street theatre, artistes in almost all the pubs and Blowzabella performing at the Civic on Saturday night. In addition, the Picturedrome will be hosting Justin Currie (ex Delamitri front man) on Friday and the Unthanks on Saturday.

Other artistes you can expect to see over the weekend are; Nick Harper, Chris Tymkow, Fyrish, Fran Smith, Gerry McNeice, Hamish Currie, String Theory, Shaun Murphy, Jaywalkers, Rocks and Reels and many more.

The Festival is thrilled to announce that the world famous Blowzabella are booked to perform on May 12th 2012 in the Civic Hall.
