welcome
Our 2009 lineup is finally ready after what seems
like months of anxious deliberation. We really feel
this is our strongest yet with a balanced and diverse
mix of all the best in traditional, contemporary and
psychedelic folk music.
Some of this years acts include...
Jethro Tull
Cara Dillon
Bert Jansch
Beth Orton
Saint Etienne
Comus
Kris Drever, John McCusker, Roddy Woomble
and Martin Carthy and Dave Swarbrick.
Please checkout all of the acts on the lineup page.
Thanks to all of you who sent in suggestions, we've done our best to include as many as possible in this year's bill.For those we couldn't, we've already made a long list for next year.
Music apart, regulars to the festival will notice many changes. A second bar, a new healing and workshop area nestling in the dell behind the fishermen's hut, more sessions and live music in the pubs of Moseley, more fantastic food and I hear the Pirates have some new tricks up their sleeves this year. But rest assured everything thats good about the festival will remain as good as ever.
I hope you can join us this year, we're all looking forward to catching up with you again in September.
