I'm coming back to Saltburn Folk Festival for a 2nd year.

I loved the festival this year - the perfect blend of top notch musicians like Emily Portman and Martin Simpson - but also the real opportunity to take part in the local pubs - especially with my friends RING OF IRON :-) 🥰🥰🥰

I got my pre-order copy of Sam Carter's new EP & gave it a listen whilst I was on my drive home.

I was pleased to hear a version of Now Is The Cool Of The Day - shocked to discover I still remembered the words from being in Lester Simpson's choir
