We went along to the four day festival held on the banks of
the Severn in Shrewsbury - on its third site in as many years, the festival is
now pretty large and attracts some of the very biggest names in folk music and
dance. We tended to go to see acts we have not seen before, performing in the
smaller venues and sessions; eschewing the big marquee, in favour of less
formal, more intimate performances. Our highlights? - Kerfuffle, Spikedrivers,
Hand to Mouth Theatre, Kathryn Tickell and Vicky Swan. This is the third of several galleries of
photographs from the festival that we will post over the next couple of weeks...
