Rochdale Rushbearing Folk Festival 1989

The first Rochdale Folk Festival that I attended was in August 1989 based at the Town Hall and Art Gallery (Now Touchstones).
Due to work commitments I only managed to attend a couple of the concerts in the Art Gallery but here's a selection of photos from the shows.
