Chester's annual February Folk Day is always a popular and well-attended event, presenting as it does the best in folk music, dance and song, both local and from around the country. It takes place in the buzzing atmosphere of Hoole Community Centre, Westminster Road, Hoole on Saturday 24 February 2018 and is organised by the people who run the Chester Folk Festival each May.

Proceedings begin at midday with a chance for everyone to have a go in the Music and Song session led by Wet the Tea, and then continue with the main concert in the afternoon, featuring the welcome return of Dave Sealey with Cosmotheka. For more than twenty years, the duo Cosmotheka was a perennial favourite on the folk scene until the untimely death of Al, Dave's brother and partner in crime. Now Cosmotheka rises from the ashes, with Dave being joined by his son Dan and Adam Barry to continue the musical mayhem as purveyors of songs and humour from the Music Hall era.

There will also be high quality support provided by the fine singing and musicianship of Tom Kitching and Gavin Davenport; popular local band Fiddletone; and the inimitable guitar style and voice of Rose Price.

After a couple of more informal events over the tea time period, the evening will feature a ceilidh with Nelson Peach's Neezzupp Band with caller Brendan Morrison, and a folk club hosted by Fiddlestone with the chance to see again some of the artists you've enjoyed during the afternoon. Advance booking is advised through the Folk Festival website http://www.chesterfolk.org.uk/folkday.html
