Cambridge Folk Festival?

[james_avalon]

I've recently got into folk music and I've just been looking at the first acts they've put out for Cambridge Folk Festival:

Richard Thompson, Bellowhead, Laura Malling, Secret Sisters and do on Cambridge Folk Festival, and I was wondering if it's suitable for younger people. I'm 22. My friend's dad said it was mainly for the over 40s.

Any ideas?

Hi there

I am in my thirties and I take my 17 year old lad.

We both love Cambridge folk festival and I would describe us as lively festival goers.

There are a LOT of sitty down people there, who do not move when a jiggy act is on, but there is also a large number of us who like to shake our stuff. The first music tent as you go onto the site is smaller, but a much better atmosphere than the big marquee.

Cambridge has been good recently getting in some lively acts like Wonderstuff and the Levellers, I hope they do again this year. Last year Show of Hands were excellent.

I would give it a go. It is an expensive festival compared to others though and the camping charges are ludicrous. They are VERRRRYYYYYY strict about the pitch that you have to pay for. I had to buy 2 pitches last year which I thought was getting somewhat greedy.
