The Magazine
Shreds and Patches is a free magazine focused on folk pursuits in
and around the county of Shropshire. It is compiled in Wellington,
on the western outskirts of Telford.
We publish it three times
a year and distribute it free of charge. Currently, 700+ readers
receive it through the post and the remainder are placed with
libraries, clubs, festivals and other venues.
You can put

Production Team
Sheila Mainwaring is the Editor, assisted by Flos (Phil)
Headford. Sheila is a nationally-respected and universally popular

has a long reputation as a top-flight fiddler with national and local English
Country Dance bands.

or Flos.
Shreds and Patches derives
its running costs from advertisers, and from voluntary
contributions. This allows complete editorial freedom. We take this
opportunity to thank all those who have, over the years, sent us
tokens of gratitude.
... and Performers
If you fancy the idea of holding a barn dance, you need look no further - Sheila is a top-class dance instructor (caller) and MC, Flos is one of the best dance fiddlers around, and we can put together all you need for a rattling good evening.
