Where can you find four performers creating six great acts!
Yes, it's true. You get Herdman-Hills-and-Mangsen, the all-star trio that made its formal debut twenty years ago at nowhere other than Golden Link's 1988 festival. Then you get Gillette & Mangsen, the sparkling husband-and-wife duo who first met at that same Golden Link festival, sparking both their musical and marital collaboration.
And then you get four individual stars of the folk scene, all of whom over the years have given concerts individually around the world, and in Rochester. Priscilla Herdman, who gave us the "Water Lily" and has never stopped her poignant presentation of the most carefully chosen and prepared songs. Anne Hills, the silver-throated, mischievous collaborator of such as Tom Paxton, Bob Gibson, and Michael Smith; she invites us to "Follow That Road". The all-knowing Cindy Mangsen, an understated wonder of wit and unpretentious musical excellence...ask her anything...ask her about cats! And Steve Gillette, not just your run-of-the-mill writer of "Darcy Farrow", but an unsurpassed instrumentalist, composer, and teacher...and "my favorite singer," says Utah Phillips.
But then, take your own pick of these four. Each of them is the favorite voice or favorite writer or favorite performer of so many. Nice folks, too.

| Where can you find Golden Link's Turtle Hill Folk Festival? Now there's a question! Our long-time festival site, Markus Park near Honeoye Falls, is unavailable this year due to construction there. It is likely that we will concentrate the Festival's events on Saturday, September 6, and that there will not be camping at the event this year. It is also likely that we will be around Honeoye Falls. Ah, the suspense! |
But be sure to mark you calendars for the weekend of Saturday, September 6, for these six great acts and much more to come.
