Being so far west, it's nearer Ireland than London, and so has a strong Irish flavour. This year's festival has sessions, singarounds, dances and concerts galore, including appearances by Kevin Dempsey, Néillidh and Fiachra Mulligan, Vicki Swan & Jonny Dyer, Nick Wyke & Becki Driscoll, the legendary Sue Harris and many more. Details can be found here. The song sessions in the fabulously unspoiled Ship Inn in Lower Town are worth the trip alone. |

Monday afternoon in the marquee is our main spot, but we'll be all over the sessions like a rash. If you're going there from the east, take a detour via the village of Rosebush and have a pint in the remarkable Tafarn Sinc (Zinc Tavern). Splott Man |
