A brand new English folk festival will make its debut at The Met in Bury on the weekend of 25th-27th October 2012.

The first performers to be revealed are Eliza Carthy, Gavin Davenport, Jim Moray, Skinny Lister, Pilgrim’s Way, Emily Portman Trio, Faustus, Mawkin, Dizraeli and the Small Gods, and a number of up and coming stars courtesy of Folk Rising.
