Fay Hield & Hive concerts

Fay Hield will be The Hive in Shrewsbury on Saturday night - just two days before the launch of her new album Orfeo so the chances are you might get to hear a sneak preview or two!


Tickets are still available from the Hive 01743 234970 or on the door. 


Nancy Kerr and James Fagan will end this season's run of gigs on Sunday, June 17 - tickets also from the Hive. Doors for all concerts at 7pm, with performances beginning at 7.45pm.


Who has made it into the 2012-2013 concert series will be revealed at the gig on June 17!

So do you camp at SFF?  We're planning improvements to campsite 2 this year - it may be across the road from the main campsite but it's a prime location near the main stage and more importantly, the loos and showers! Grab your pitch early is our advice.
