Here's our line-up so far for Friday and Saturday night concerts and workshops throughout the weekend...
Rachel Eddy
Rachel was born and raised in rural West Virginia, where her musical family inspired her to play and sing as a little girl. She grew up listening to local fiddlers, her father amongst them, going to old-time festivals, and attending square dances. The old-time bug bit her early in life and Rachel now performs and teaches full-time on fiddle, banjo, guitar, mandolin and bass. |

Rattle on the Stovepipe "The trio brings together two of the British folk scene's most admired veterans, Dave Arthur and Pete Cooper. Both have been members of leading bands and duos for decades now but never has either been heard to better effect than in this line-up. The third member is the much younger multi-instrumentalist Dan Stewart… one of Europe's leading Old Timey banjo players." - Vic Smith, fRoots |
The Ragged Out String Band The Ragged Out String Band are a London-based group playing an infectious and energetic take on Old-Time Appalachian Folk Music, Americana and Bluegrass. Expect fiery fiddle tunes and tight vocal harmonies backed up by a driving rhythm section of guitar and banjo. |

Ninetree Stumblers Born a hundred years late and 4000 miles too far East, The Ninetree Stumblers dredge up nuggets of the Old Weird America from the crackly grooves of 78RPM shellac. Three multi-instrumentalists from Bristol, UK, the band trade guitars, banjos, fiddles and more, clambering from song to song through shows that set Moonshine-fuelled hoedowns against sombre Baptist hymns, cockeyed ragtime and sweetheart waltzes. |
Crooked Moon Appalachian Appalachian clogging team based in Brighton, formed in 2011. One of the most dynamic, energetic and creative dance teams, they incorporate traditional styles and steps with their own contemporary choreography. |
