An Exciting Weekend of the
Best in Folk Music & Dance
Headlining this year's festival were
Show of Hands with Miranda Sykes
along with
Eliza Carthy
and
New supergroup Moonlighting
featuring:
Michael McGoldrick, Ciaran Tourish
and Dermot Byrne (Altan),
John Joe Kelly (Flook)
and John Doyle (ex Solas)
What a fabulous weekend!
Saturday and weekend tickets sold out in advance, and even the rain on Sunday couldn’t dampen the spirits of an enthusiastic and appreciative crowd.
Music and dance featured across many stages on the festival site, with more events held in the adjacent Workhouse. Southwell town centre was transformed into an open air stage for three days, and thousands of festival goers enjoyed a breathtakingly diverse line-up of artists.
All this, and the best festival toilets you will ever encounter!
Plans are already under way for next year’s festival, which will take place on 11, 12 and 13 June 2010. For artist confirmations, watch this space.
A big thank you to everyone who attended and organized this year’s event – see you next year!
Also headlining were:
Eric Bogle & John Munro,
Seckou Keita Quintet,
Martin Simpson Trio,
and BBC Folk Awards ‘Best Group’ for the second year running,
