Promoting Free Folk...

All festival staff provide their time and expertise for free, in the spirit of promoting folk for all. Your donations enable us to invite great performers and keep the festival exciting and vibrant. This year has seen an increase in fundraising activities, and you will see plenty of bucket-shaking around the festival, as well as an opportunity to purchase a donators badge which will enable you to avoid the bucket-shakers for just £10!
Please do support our advertisers and sponsors as their contributions are invaluable.

History:

Dulverton Folk Festival first took place in July 2007, envisaged and organised by local musician Dave Towers. Dave was unable to be directly involved in 2008 due to other commitments but continues to be the inspiration for the festival and will hopefully be back to guide events in the future.

In 2008, the festival was organised by Sapphire Sound, who also provided the public address systems and designed the 2008 festival website.

And, then in 2009, the festival was organised by members of the Rusty Buckets, local ceilidh band.
Bex Smith (a returned Dulvertonian, and occasional member of the Rusty Buckets) is behind this year's website, logo and flier design.

Sally J Maynard also deserves a mention for her hand drawing of the Dulverton Town Hall Steps which enabled Bex to create the logo you see above. Sally is an accomplished watercolour artist who runs watercolour classes from her home just a few short miles from Dulverton.

2010 - We have a similar organising committee to last year, and are commited to ensuring that we can keep the festival free for as long as possible, without compromising on entertainment value.
