There are three more line-up additions for the Big Session Festival, which returns for the fifth year to De Montfort Hall, Leicester on Friday 19th to Sunday 21st June 2009.
The acts which have been added to the line-up include the folk rockers and party rousers Levellers, who are bound to deliver a lively set.
Also announced are two high calibre folk singer/songwriters - the melodic Scottish songstress Karine Polwart, and probably the biggest thing to come out of Wanamaker, Indiana the affable Otis Gibbs.
Along with the pre-programmed music, expect there to be a beer tent with open mic space, artist lunchtime and impromptu sessions, a ceilidh, a market place, a children's area and more throughout the weekend.
The festival has a proper session bar which gives festival goers the opportunity to bring along their own instruments and join in the sessions hosted over the weekend. The Big Session provides a safe and secure cloakroom to leave instruments at over the weekend.
Early bird tickets are on sale priced at £60 for the whole weekend, child (aged 5-15) tickets are priced at £25. Children under 5 years old are free. To buy tickets, click here.
