Line-up and tickets on sale

We have, as you will see, put together most of the 2012 line up, but there are still several acts in negotiation.....expect some surprises.

The great man (Richard Thompson) is back with many of your requested favourites. Show of Hands are planning something very special, (more of this, in months to come) and Blowzabella have a marathon ceilidh lined up.

The Sweetback Sisters return from New York to give us their slant on Country Music. There are surprises in the form of, Madison Violet and Old Man Luedecke (pronounced “Loo-da-ka)” from Canada, Jonathan Byrd from the US and Anxo Lorenzo from Spain. And brace yourselves for our new Global Dance spectacular on main stage one.

As usual there will be something for everyone, artists you recognise and love, and new bands and singers for you to discover. Once again we will be celebrating the tradition, encouraging the contemporary and partying with all of our high energy bands.

Have a wonderful Christmas; we look forward to seeing you in August. Alan
