Well in simple terms, it’s a weekend FREE Acoustic/Folk Festival, with activities based mainly around the pubs in the Town centre of Burnham-on-Sea, Somerset all day and the evening of the Saturday 2nd September, and an open air concert on the Sunday 3rd September in Manor Gardens, Burnham-on-Sea.

This Year (2007) we have SEVEN PUB VENUES in the Town which support the event, and provide (with our help) FREE non stop Acoustic Music from noon until closing time on the Saturday. Music in each pub is split into three hour slots, so that pubs provide either an Open Mic Session of three hours, a Club Slot of three hours (provided by local Acoustic Clubs in the area), and a well known named act or two, such as Kerfuffle, Ron Trueman Border, Kent Duchaine, Fallen Apples, Bag of Rats.

There will be a Opening Concert on Friday Night with Black Friday, which is now being held at the Ritz Social Club. This is a charged event and ticket prices are £6 available in advance from GC Sound and Light 01278 794414 or the Festival Office on the day(depending on availabliliy).

The Sunday will host the “Folk in the Park” event which is a FREE six hour open air concert in Manor Gardens, with Bar, Refreshments, Childrens Entertainment, Traders Stalls. This years artistes include Dragonsfly, Ron Trueman Border, Bag of Rats, Jackie Oates.

Throughout the weekend there will be a variety of other Traditional forms of entertainment with a Dance Stage for Cloggers, Morrismen, Mummers and Street Entertainers and Buskers along the seafront and in the High St.

We are also having a family/childrens Ceilidh during the day on the Saturday, with face painting, Hair Braiding, Tombola etc.
