ELY FOLK FESTIVAL 2026 Meet the Patrons.

Ely Arts Festival Meet Jon Boden

Ely Arts Festival and Ely Folk Festival collaborate to bring a major Folk artist to the city. I first met Jon when the mighty Bellowhead were on the rise and it was a joy to catch up with him via Zoom for a chat before his Ely gig in mid June. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Ely Folk Festival Meet Gerry Colvin

I am excited for Gerry Colvin to be performing at Ely Folk festival 2026. He is an amazing Songwriter and fabulous entertainer. Gerry's personality just makes you feel included and lifts the spirit he will be performing with his usual band, I caught up with him at Folk on the pier in Cromer after his performance with his big Folk Orchestra. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

ELY FOLK FESTIVAL 2026 Meet the Patrons.

Do you have your ticket yet? Ely Folk festival will soon be here with an exciting line up for a fabulous fun filled three days. The festival is so lucky to have two top folkies as Patrons, Boo Hewerdine and Brooks Williams. In this episode recorded on Zoom you can feel their love for the festival and also the humour that lives within them. Both are solo artists but they perform together as State of the union and collaborate with countless other musicians. Always busy on the road or cutting an album it was a joy to chat with them. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Celebrating a Celebrant

I love meeting people and being on my market stall gives me no end of opportunities whatever the weather. When you just click with someone in conversation it needs to be shared so meet Sandie an uplifting individual who has a fresh approach to any ceremony. This podcast was recorded in 2025 just prior to my hip surgery. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy [https://acast.com/privacy] for more information.
