Very good ... please continue!

[Flay]

Especially for folk like us

[Norfolk Born]

Are you going to Scarborough, by any chance?

[Nick Armstrong]

That's not fair

Ah! Go for it Flay!! And maybe start Girding your loins... Long time since we've had one from you

[Flay]

Or maybe a music festival???

[Norfolk Born]

No ... you've already posted the answer, a few messages ago!

[Flay]

Well you'll have to explain all the other places for me, NorFolk <doh>

[Norfolk Born]

Four musical fairs: one in Lincolnshire, one in Yorkshire (Scarborough), one in Iowa (in the state capital) and one in St Petersburg - any offers?

[Flay]

International Early Music Festival - St. Petersburg
Sounds Of Iowa Music Festival
Boston Music Festival

[Norfolk Born]

Er, no .... the link is Fair.

[Norfolk Born]

Short of actually giving you the answer....One is Trad. arr. Delius (and Grainger), one was recorded by Simon and Garfunkel, one is the work of Oscar Hammerstein II and one is by Stravinsky.

[Flay]

Iowa State Fair - Des Moines
St. Petersburg International Folk Fair
Revesby Country Fair perhaps?

I give up

[Flay]

I'm so far out on a tangent that I'm about to go into orbit!

State Fair - OH II
Shrovetide fair - Petrushka
Brigg Fair - Delius

[Norfolk Born]

I always knew you'd get there!
Iowa: State Fair
Lincolnshire: Brigg Fair
St Petersburg: The Shrovetide Fair (Petrushka)
Yorkshire: Scarborough Fair.
All Alan Ayckbourn's plays are premiered in Scarborough.
Fair enough?
G, it's your turn!

[Flay]

Phew. Serves me right for trying to work at the same time.
