Sheffield Folk Festival 2007

Built on the folk dance and music scene in Sheffield, this festival aims to showcase local and national talent, with concerts, ceilidhs (on Friday and Saturday), contra and European dances (Saturday), dance displays and folk clubs. There is also the opportunity to learn new skills through workshops, music sessions and singarounds.

Many artists will be performing at several times and venues over the weekend and all of these details will be published in the festival programme. This year's line-up includes the following artists: Kane and Shona Kipling; Cloudstreet; Bob Fox and Billy Mitchell; Carl Woodford; Nancy Kerr and James Fagan; Park Bench Social Club; Vikki Swan & Jonny Dyer; Fates; Tegwen Roberts; Mrs Ackroyd Band; Patrick Walker & Brian Gilmer; and Rory McLeod.

Kelham Island Industrial Museum is at the heart of the festival. Indoor camping, caravanette hard standing and car parking are all a short walk from the museum.

Many of the festival sessions will take place in pubs very close by. St Phillips Social Club, on Daisy Walk, Netherthorpe, will be the main dance venue for Saturday's dance events and Saturday's ceilidh.

TICKETS: Day and evening tickets are also available, varying in price from £10 - £35 depending on the day / event.
