Other artists include Billy Bragg, Richard Hawley who replaces John Hiatt, Judy Collins, Allen Toussaint, Seth Lakeman, Eric Bibb, Eliza Carthy, Martha Wainwright, The Waifs, Altan, Peatbog Faeries, Tim O'Brien, Karine Polwart, Michael McGoldrick Band, Laura Marling, Bassekou Kouyate & Ngoni Ba, Tunng, Kila, 3 Daft Monkeys, Noah & The Whale, 6 Day Riot, Findlay Napier & The Bar Room Mountaineers, Megson, and The Shivers. For the line-up details as available please click here.
