The Bridge Inn DulvertonI’ve just heard that the Dulverton Folk festival is going ahead this year again 18th July to 20th July 2008 and am happy to give them as much publicity as I can.

Dulverton in West Somerset is a pretty Exmoor town and I have pleasant memories of joining in with a few of the pub sessions last year and wandering besides the river in the sunshine.

The photo on the right is of the Bridge Inn that is very involved with the festival.

Below is the beautiful river that runs besides Dulverton.

‘After the Fair’ – Bampton Free Folk Festival 26th – 28th October 2007

The great thing about this folk music festival of dance, music and song in UK’s North Devon town of Bampton is that it is all about participation.

Frankly, it’s wall to wall free music sessions from beginning to end with a few other great events thrown in. I love it! It’s the way a folk festival should be.

So, if you like mixing with a wide range of other folk musicians (Anglo, Irish, Breton) who enjoy playing English, Irish and Breton folk music in pubs amongst the beer and the crowds, and would like to visit a small West Country town / village on the edge of Exmoor 26th – 28th October 2007, check out the details on the Pennymoor Singaround site.

See you there
