Inimitable singer and multi-instrumentalist Sam Amidon headlines our 2025 edition. Fresh from the release of his critically acclaimed album Salt River, the Vermont-born trailblazer brings his adventurous reworkings of American ballads, hymns and work songs - “transform(ing) all of the songs, changing their colours and loading them with trapdoors” (New York Times).
Joining him are torchbearers of a new wave of experimental folk and outspoken protest voices: Sheffield’s Jim Ghedi and Lucy & Hazel. They’ll be joined by “potent gothic-folk” songwriter Toria Wooff, the intensely charismatic Spitzer Space Telescope, DIY neo-folk cadre Wire Worm and many more.
Festivalgoers can also expect Morris dancing, mummers plays and folk sessions from Queer As Folk, Common Folk, Mersey Morris and Mockbeggar Morris.
