“The Hither Side of the Hedge”, a lively performance featuring the songs and dances that Alice Gillington collected from the New Forest Gypsies in the early 1900s, will be performed at the Chippenham Folk Festival in Chippenham, Wiltshire, on Sunday 29 May 2016. It’s presented by Simon Harmer, Jo Harmer, Deb Lewis, Janet Keet-Black, Peter Ingram and Jigfoot.

Our thanks to Janet, the RTFHS Honorary Vice President, for sharing this information with us. As Janet says: “If you didn’t see this performance at last year’s RTFHS Society Day in Brockenhurst, here’s another chance to catch it.” Get more information at the Festival website.
