Our own one-day festival, the Indoor Festival Of Folk, at Cecil Sharp House in London is on the 3rd of February and features Tom Robinson, The Trials of Cato, The Rosie Hood Band, Janice Burns and Jon Doran, us and a very special interview session hosted by BBC broadcaster Matthew Bannister with two legends of British folk/rock, Joe Boyd and John Wood, the manager/producers behind Fairport Convention, Sandy Denny, Fotheringay, Richard and Linda Thompson, John Martyn, Nick Drake, the Incredible String Band plus lots of others.
Many of us have lived our lives with the music that Joe and John helped bring in to the world and now is the chance to hear them talk about the who, what, where, why and when behind the artists and their albums.
It’ll be a truly unique event in absolutely beautiful surroundings with music, chat, food, drink, facilities and a nice warm sit down but tickets are strictly limited so be quick to book and don’t miss out!

And finally the usual musicians mantra at the moment which is sadly, if you are intending to come along to one of our gigs then please do buy tickets sooner rather than later. Given the current economic situation promoters and venues are very nervous about live music and buying early helps calm everyone’s nerves!
See you out there soon.
