It’s that time of year again! We’re approacing the fabulous all singing, all dancing, Sidmouth Folk Week!
Visit the official site here to download a programme or a leaflet about the folk week, for directions to Sidmouth, or to apply for Street trading – or just read about everything going on!
If you’ve been to Sidmouth Folk Festival before, you’ll know all about having a whole week filled with music, singing, dancing, pub sessions, workshops, concerts, storytelling, cream teas, lying on the beach, Late Night Extra, and sitting up late on the campsite enjying the bon homie. If you’ve never been, think of FolkWeek as more like a collection of small festivals in the same place at the same time, with something for everyone and a very friendly feel to it compared with some big festivals.
The line-up for 2008 includes Show of Hands, Martin Hayes & Dennis Cahill, Grand Union, Jim Moray, Karen Tweed & Friends including Circa Compania, The Poozies and Lisa Knapp. Ceilidh bands perform nightly for the energetic, while there’s usually a Friday-night torchlight procession followed by a fireworks display.
