yesterday was the online Folk on Foot festival with many of the UKs top folk artists playing for nearly 8 hours (2pm - 10) last on was steve knightly and other highlights included karine polwart, chris drever, peggy seeger, jon boden, julie fowlis bella hardy etc. they each did half an hour from their front rooms (also interesting to hhave a wee nosey around the houses) it dragged in a couple of places but was mostly of good quality and interesting and all at a relaxing, slow pace (like at a festival when you always find yourself walking at half usual speed as you potter about trying not to spill the beer)

anyway - i'd thoroughly recommend it - the good cause is to raise money for folk musicians whose income has suddenly dried up.

watch it again on you tube. (after about an hour)and look out for karine polwart - clearly struggling with the current situation but still playing great music that was the highlight for me
