Thur 27- Sun 30th Charles Wells Cambridge Folk Festival
http://www.cam-folkfest.co.uk
Cherry Hinton Hall grounds, Cambridge Details from: Eddie Barcan.
Tel: (01223) 457521 / 457245 / 457515. Fax:(01223) 457529
One of the longest running and most famous folk festivals in
the
world, held in the beautiful setting of Cherry Hinton Hall's grounds,
just within the boundary of the historic City of Cambridge.
Renowned for its eclectic mix of music and a wide definition of
what might be considered folk, the best traditional folk artists
from the UK and Ireland rub shoulders with more contemporary
acts, the finest American country, blues and roots artists, acclaimed
singer songwriters and even the odd pop star. The Festival, which
today regularly attracts a sell-out crowd of 10,000, was started
in
1964 by Ken Woollard, who had been inspired by a documentary,
'Jazz On A Summer's Day, about the 1958 Newport Jazz Festival'.
