There's a new Folk On Foot festival gig today and the listing is here

FOLK ON FOOT TOGETHER AGAIN



Now they crowdfund to set this up but I this to just say that it seems more slapdash then the last day of the Front Room Festival II which featured over 8 hours of music all day and this one is notable the absence of the big hitters like Richard Thompson, Kathryn Tickell, Frank Turner, O'Hooley and Tidow or Chris Wood or even the variety of the last session with this session featuring five separate appearances by Simpson Cutting Kerr which seemed a tad odd almost as if they couldn't fill slots. 

Still at least Johhny Flynn and Eliza Carthy showed up again. Of course there is Peggy Seeger and her children from Ewan MacColl, so called, who is the senior folk presence here but I am afraid I never cared for her thin and reedy voice. and Julie Fowlis is the only remaining heavy hitter that I could spot

Still enjoy and if you feel it , contribute to the age for Tee Shirts and so on
