your pitch here!
Plans are now well underway for 2012...
The 6th Annual DFF will once again be FREE for all events - that is some deal as these bands are costing us more and more every year we continue! The generosity of local businesses, as well as our loyal followers who are now choosing to return to Dulverton yearly, forgoing the more exciting festivals of Chippenham and Bude is all helping to keep Dulverton's relatively small festival to grow and thrive. No mean feat in these difficult economic times!We are really excited by our growing line up, and booked already are...
Dyer:Cummings
- A first for 2012, we are opening the festival with a Dyer:Cummings ceilidh at the festival campsite! With the schools blessing we are going to be using their hall for what we hope will be a fantastic way to get the festival off to a flying start!
Fable of the Bees
- These guys are headlining our Saturday concert stage.
Carrivick Sisters
- This exceptionally talented duo will be joining us on the Monday
Harry Skinner and Dave Saunders of The Producers
- Playing on Sunday night....
There are more performers, and workshops to be added very
soon, as soon as they are all confirmed so keep checking
here for updates - and on our facebook
page - as well as our performers
page.
Dancers confirmed so far include:
Rag Morris
- Yay! We love these colourful guys and gals from Bristol
who have entertained us for 2 years already!
- They are also running another very popular morris
workshop or more over the weekend.
Workshops confirmed thus far...
Phil de la Haye - Get Singing workshops
- We are more than delighted that Phil has agreed to join us again this year and will run some of her fantastic singing workshops. We had some fantastic feedback regarding Phils workshops, they are great fun and totally unmissable! Times and venues yet to be arranged.
Melodeon Workshops with Matt Swindlehurst
- Matt is a great melodeon player, and has a great ability
to pass on his knowledge and skills.... this should prove
to be an informative and enjoyable workshop. Times and
venues yet to be arranged.
Supporting local musicians of the future...
We are proud that our contribution to the school funds has been used to purchase violins for the school, and enabled Year 5 pupils to be offered the opportunity to try learning violin for a term - we look forward to hearing some of these budding new musicians performing in future festivals!!Can you help us?...
Dulverton Folk Festival is run entirely by volunteers - from those of us who sit on the committee and try to organise an exciting weekend of music, dance and more; to those who run the campers kitchen, steward events, help out round the campsite, shake collecting cans and sell raffle tickets. Would you like to help with any aspect for the 2012 event? If so, we want to hear from you.A note from our website designer...
"Last year I received feedback that the layout was not compatible with iphones and ipads. As these are alien objects to me, I hope that this layout will be a bit better - however, if you are experiencing problems with the layout and can offer some suggestions for fixing them I would be more than happy to hear them. I'm no pro when it comes to web-design so am well aware of my limitations - but we have a non-existent budget for the website... so...!"Bex
