Did I mention that we also have Tanec Bulgarian Dancers and the splendid berefoot Flamenco of Valerie Romanin? oh, and Bampton are paying us a visit at the weekend. Hurrah!

New to Sidmouth this year are also the Silent Disco on Sunday night (DJs include Eliza Carthy, Jon Boden, Jim Moray and Pete Lawrence from the Big Chill) and a DJeilidh on Friday night - that's a ceilidh, but with a mixture of live and recorded music. The caller is Gordon Potts.


I agree George. I am very excited about and proud of the whole lineup in the Ham this year - I've tried to include a good range of artists and focus on quality. (PS - go and see Riccardo Tesi - you'll thank me.)

I won't go on about the great artists at Bulverton, or John Howson's wonderful traditional programme, or Jim Causley's Devon-sent Evening of hand-picked guests, or Jim Moray and Jackie Oates's soiree, or the Peter Bellamy tribute concert, or the Dhol Foundation having Eliza Carthy as their special guest...this would start to sound like an advert. :)
