Festivals local to the Sunray Folk Club, and supporters of!!!

So many to choose from this year, and after last years flooding it will be good to see them all well attended....

Sorting out my MC responsibilities for Wimborne Festival. I am taking care of the Sat and Sun afternoon concerts. Also looking forward to Dereks session- usually a good mix.
Weymouth's Festival EVOLVE has me included and it will be interesting to see how the start up year goes- I wish them well as they have a wonderful line-up. It was good to see the organisers at the Sunray Folk Club.

A bit of a way to go yet, but I am so looking forward to Swanage Festival. I am taking care of all the Church concerts. A large, and acoustically challenging but superb venue. The final concert of the weekend with the New Scorpion Band at 7pm sunday. Wow!

Many more Festivals on offer too: too many to name!

'So many to choose from this year'

I agree that Weymouth and areas around are well served musically. I'm from West Somerset and am very much looking forward to visiting the early June Wessex Folk Festival in Weymouth this year.

I attended the Wessex Folk Festival last year and was amazed at the friendly community based atmosphere the organisers generated.

As an amateur musician, one of the first things I look for in any folk music festival is the possibility of joining in with some pub sessions as well a great ambiance in its community areas.

The Wessex Folk Festival in early June combines all that I like most in a festival and I am looking forward to visiting Weymouth again.

BTW does Evolve have any joining in sessions?
