The festival is the brainchild of West Country music promoter Jan Ayers, who successfully brought a folk festival back to Bristol after 32 years this spring.
Jan said, "We're delighted to announce the fabulous Spiers and Boden as our first headliners their Bellowhead gig in Frome in November was the first to sell out on their upcoming tour so here's another chance to catch them in town."
