FOLK music lovers will be hardly able to contain themselves when an annual music festival returns to town this weekend.

Leading artists, musicians and dancers from all over the country will take part in this year's Bromsgrove Folk Festival at the Dodford Inn, near Bromsgrove, from Friday, July 12 to Sunday, July 14.

Performers will put on impromptu sing-a-rounds and dance demonstrations while a children's entertainer will wow the crowds.

The length and breadth of Dodford will attempt to wrestle the crown from last year's champion in the annual world dry foam flinging championships.

Vast quantities of real ale and cider will also be available.

For further information, call Bob Bignell on 0121 476 5938.
