We still have tickets available, but they are going fast so get yours now!
After five years of trying, we are delighted to announce that we have managed to book the amazing Show of Hands (plus Myranda Sykes) for our Festival Concert at the Princess Hall, Burnham-on-Sea on Friday 3rd September 2010 (doors open 7.30pm). Show of Hands, came top in two categories at this year’s BBC Radio 2 Folk and Roots Awards with Best Original Song – Arrogance Ignorance and Greed and Best Duo. Ticket price is just £16 and we are limited to just 300 tickets, (standing only) and this will sell out very quickly. Send cheque made out to B-o-S Folkfest with a stamped/addressed envelope to GC Music, 9-11, College St. Burnham-on-Sea. Somerset TA8 1AR, or pop into the shop and pick them up by paying cash (no credit/debit card payments)

Other new features of this year’s Folkfest is a Thursday Night Taster hosted by the Ritz Acoustic Club, which will be a mixture of Open Mic and a great guest band, and a Sunday Night Wind-Down event at the Rugby Club (BASC Ground) after the Open Air event in Manor Gardens.

More camping is also available this year at the BASC ground, and they will be offering breakfasts in the clubhouse for the bleary-eyed. Check out booking details on the INFO page

To help us promote the Fifth Free Annual Burnham-on-Sea Folkfest, download a poster and stick it up in a prominent (and legal) place. By all means, send us a photo of yourselves with the poster and where you have displayed it, and we may just put your photo up on the site …. I could see this turning into a competition!
