“Friday evening sees the welcome return after four years of one of the UK’s very top folk/rock bands, Home Service with the brilliant and award-winning duo Megson providing support.

“On Saturday evening, one of the most exciting and dynamic bands around come to the Festival.

“ These are the multi-award winning Scottish band Skerryvore with support from the excellent Alistair Goodwin Band. Finally, Sunday evening in the Regis Centre Studio will see the one and only Richard Digance taking the stage.

“There’ll be loads of other great performers including a welcome back to the lovely Flossie Malavialle and for the first time at the Festival, the guitar virtuoso, Sarah McQuaid plus appearances from the Bath Young Folk Band, Steve Dan Mills, Celtic Simbel and many others.
