The festival consists of music sessions, concerts, singarounds, folk clubs and workshops in almost all the pubs in Holmfirth plus a Saturday night concert with Chumbawamba, James Raynard and 4 Square in the Civic Hall.

Other artists include Craig Morgan Robson, Kate Bramley, Katriona Gilmore and Jamie Roberts, John Richards Band, Jake Thackray Experience, Jamie Smith, Shellback Chorus and many many more.

There's also a Ceilidh on Saturday night in the Market Hall with the Red Parrots and a Family Ceilidh on Sunday afternoon with the Good Egg Band.
