If any of you managed to catch the fantastic BBC Young Musician of the Year finals on TV over the weekend, you would have seen a regular attendee of the festival taking part in the event.
Jim Molyneux has played at the festival for the past two years, and his appearance in 2008 will make it three in a row.
Jim won our open mic competition in 2006, and as is tradition, was invited to the 2007 festival as a performer…he came and performed with a young quartet called 4Square, made up himself, Nicola Lyons, James Meadows and Dan Day.
All four of 4Square are excellent musicians; they worked hard and were a real hit at the festival…so much so that we invited them back for 2008.
What makes Jim’s achievement all the more impressive is that his appearance in the BBC competition was as an accomplished percussionist, and his work on the folk scene is as an equally exceptional accordionist.
We send our congratulations to Jim, we are sure that your talent and your personality will take to the top in whatever musical endeavor you wish to take!
Be sure to catch 4Square at the festival, they play a great set!
