A new festival is about to be unleashed on the UK folkies, this one called Evolve and based in Lodmoor Park, Weymouth, Dorset, UK. Even better, this is organised by local young folk. It clashes with Warwick unfortunately, as it runs on the 25th & 26th July, so as I'm booked at Warwick I am sort of cutting my own throat advertising it, but I can't help wanting to support the youngsters.
As for their lineup: Headlining Friday night will be Lou Rhodes, 3 Daft Monkeys, Mawkin:Causley, Kerfuffle, Nick Wyke & Becki Driscoll, Pronghorn, Oddur, Not Made in China, Thinker, Competition runners up. Headlining Saturday night are Show of Hands with Miranda Sykes, Megson, Tim Van Eyken, Reg Meuross & Jackie Oates, 5th Quarter, James Findlay, Landermason, Bob Kirkpatrick,competition winners, Daniel Honey,Tom Dale. There will also be a smaller marquee which will also have a stage and within this marquee there will be performers, workshops and sessions.
