The plans are just about finished and wow impressive for a free festival, the schedule is not out yet but I can say that we will be hosting the sing around on the Saturday afternoon after the Yorkshire Garland session, in the evening we will be on in the marquee at 20.45 for half an hour followed by Holly Tamar (recently booked to appear on Later with Jools Holland this summer) who is followed by Miles Cain (who has already done the Jools Holland gig and other TV stuff) the final Act I think is King Courgette. Lots of other stuff going on. Friday night in the Marquee I think is the York Songwriters showcase, a mixed session the other side of town (about a 3/4 of a mile away) in the Victoria Vaults, Nunnery lane. Sunday I expect Monkeys Fist will be hosting the sing around and be appearing in the Marquee along with a host of others. There will be the usual Folk club with an open list and a muso's session Saturday and Sunday as per usual....ooo Morris and rappers, indeed the full monty.
AND ALL FREE. There will be buckets going around for donations for towards the expenses of the Black Swan Folk Club non of the acts appearing get paid and are broadly part of the York folk scene or supporters of the Black Swan Folk Club
