This festival's prestigious reputation for quality music in intimate surroundings means tickets always sell out very quickly. The music is much more than traditional folk.

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.

Music takes place as follows: Thursday 6pm-10pm; Friday 1pm-11.30pm; Saturday midday-11.30pm; Sunday midday-11pm.
