N.B. This is a small one tent festival with a combination of top name folk artists and locals performers. The intimacy makes it a special festival, which Andrew, the organiser wants to keep small to retain the atmosphere. However, he has kindly allowed me to advertise it to my fans. It is one of my favourite festivals, if not my actual favourite!
