Bristol Folk Festival

26-11-2010

Bristol's Folk Festival is being revived – after a gap of 32 years. And this time it's indoors taking place at the city's Colston Hall during the May Day Bank Holiday weekend.

It is hoped that up to 3,000 people will come along from Bristol and around the country. There will be something going on from 10am to midnight each day. .

The festival is the idea of music promoters Jan Ayers and Steve Parkhouse who hope the event will have major acts, ceilidhs, workshops, sessions, singalongs, family-friendly entertainment and local performers. And he said that as it was over the May Bank Holiday there would be Maypoles, mummers and Morris dancers. Plus street parades, buskers, circus entertainers, poetry, story telling, a market and stalls, and bars, food, and posh loos.
