Bedworth Folk Festival 2006 last updated : Mon 20th Nov 06
This long running festival claims to be one of the highlight's of Bedworth's year, packing this small Warwickshire town with up to 1500 extra people but still retaining an intimate, and inclusive atmosphere. There's a full programme of events including concerts, Meet the Artists, sing-a-rounds, workshops and sessions, Morris dancing, storytelling, plus a Craft Fair on Sunday.
The full line-up has now been confirmed and takes places at a variety of venues around the town, the main one being the Conservative Club. Other venues include the White Swan, the Black Bank, the Civic Hall and the Rugby Club. Gigs start as early as 9.30am (e.g. the White Swan Breakfast Sing until noon on Sunday morning!), going through until at least 2am on Saturday night.
Artists might play at several venues in one day so if you miss them at one place, you might find them at another. This year, folk favourites such as Isambarde, Keith Donnelly, Vicki Swan & Jonny Dyer, and Aardvark are performing. For a rough guide to this year's line-up, click here.
