Wolf,and 9Bach. Programmer David Agnew says “We’re thrilled with a broad programme which we hope will entice existing audiences and intrigue thode familiar with the venues but new to the artists – and perhaps indeed our take on an urban folk programme. The bill aims to satisfy industry delegates who visit with English Folk Expo and present a mix of established and emerging artists – the combination of these elements can be challenging but ultimately results in a unique festival which is innovative and we hope will find growing audiences and inspire participating artists.” fRoots tips to watch: You Are Wolf .
