The line-up so far....
The small but perfectly formed Folk Thing Music Festival returns in
2011 for its 3rd year to the beautiful village of Ashby Folville in
Leicestershire.
We already have more than 20 confirmed acoustic, folk, blues and heavy
wood acts and it all takes place in the village hall, the skittle alley and
the Carington Arms.
So, with no open air stages the Folk Thing is the ideal weatherproof
start to your festival season.
The weekend event will (still) cost a recession beating £15, available in
advance and on the gate. Parking and Camping inclusive.
Once again our well stocked and sensibly priced real-ale bottle bar will
be a feature of the village hall. The pub also has fine real ale and serves
excellent food, including breakfasts.
For the musicians amongst you there will be plenty of opportunities to
join in the fun and showcase your talents in sessions and open-mic slots
on the Skittle Stage, which is hosted this year by Ilkeston Folk Club.
Late night musical gatherings around your own camp fires are
positively encouraged - we even provide the firewood. So bring along
your own instruments and enthusiasm and be part of the
entertainment.
The Folk Thing is back for 2011 - and still only £15!
