Moseley Folk Festival

We're pleased to announce that we're on the bill of the inaugural Moseley Folk Festival which is due to take place on the first weekend of September 2006.

That's us there, on Sunday's bill.....


The event has taken some mean feats of organisation from the people involved, not least having to keep things reasonably clandestine until Birmingham City Council approved the license, which they duly did on 19th June meaning that all systems are go.

Carl from the festival is chuffed to bits with the line-up and so he should be. Having began with a 'wish-list' of artists he set about the task of getting them and with very few exceptions the line up pretty much mirrors his original list. Not bad going!

The festival takes place in the marvellous Moseley Park - a sort of 'Worst kept secret' hidden garden bang in the centre of Moseley village that boasts a beautiful lake and hundreds of unspoilt, Victorian-era trees and bushes. Come sunset, when the birds begin to settle in their roosts in the trees for the evening (making a lot of noise in the process) I think it's probably my favourite place in the entire city.

There is more information on both the festival homepage and also on their Myspace thingum

Stage times and final running order are to be confirmed at this stage, but we imagine that we'll be onstage some time in the middle of the afternoon.

All that remains now is to get yourself a ticket, tell your friends and cross your fingers for some decent weather.

See you there
