Cambridge Folk Festival
E-mail:
wendyg@cambridge.gov.uk
The Festival is renowned for its eclectic mix of
music and a wide definition of what might be
considered folk. The best traditional folk
artists from the UK and Ireland rub shoulders
with more contemporary acts, the finest American
country, blues and roots artists, acclaimed
singer songwriters and even the odd pop star.
Bluegrass, gospel, Cajun, zydeco, jazz, world,
klezmer and a ceilidh are also regular features.
The line up has reflected the many changes in
the music scene from the 60s to the present and
is always a hotbed mix of the old and the new.
The list of performers who have appeared reads
like a who's who and the Festival has been a
launching pad for many now well known artists.
