"I hope the seed planted for this down-homey, grassroots, friendly festival
will be nurtured and given the support and opportunity to grow into an annual
event" Pamela Wyn Shannon: performer from the USA at 2005 event. On the bill again for this year.

"I thought Jon and his team put in so much personal energy into the weekend, played us some beautiful music, and really made a special, memorable day for people visiting the area and happening upon the event." String 'n' Bones: performers at the 2005 event

The Abbey Mill Festival Organisation (AMFO) was set-up in May 2005 in order to promote and encourage interest in and production of original, strictly creative, unusual, inspired and inspirational, lo-fi, homespun and acoustically driven music, with a focus on the instigation and maintenance of a festival taking place at the Abbey Mill complex, Tintern, each summer.
