Line-up revealed for Wimborne Folk Festival
11:00am Sunday 20th January 2013 in News
THE NEW Wimborne Minster Folk Festival has announced its line-up for this summer’s event.
Artists confirmed include the Albion Band and BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards nominees Blair Dunlop, the Carrivick Sisters and Katriona Gilmore and Jamie Roberts.
It is the first year for the revamped festival, which has been organised by a new committee of volunteers after the event was cancelled in August last year. Organisers have promised three days of folk, family and fun, with the much-loved mix of dance displays, family activities, workshops and stalls returning to the historic minster town’s streets on June 7, 8 and 9.

Here's to many more years of a successful festival embracing the full range of a vibrant folk scene.
All we need now is to get Bellowhead to headline! Still, they're at Lighthouse in Poole on February 15 - so that's a bonus.

I'd go if they got Motorhead and Slash.

The old committee did a fantastic job for many years, but personally I'm glad to see a break in the festival's love affair with all things Irish, which never did sit comfortably with the largely English dance events.

RageAgainstTheMachinI don't think that would class as a Folk festival somehow. Having said that, I'd definitely be there.
