Sessions this year
What is a session? It's great, free, entertainment. A session for the audience is a chance to hear an amazing diversity of music and song played by musicians who range from the 'cheerful amateur' to the headline artiste who is sitting in to play or sing a couple of songs. We often find some 'stars' of the sessions who end up on next years festival bill.
Hello to all Singers and Musicians. We want Bideford Folk Festival to be a singers and players festival – because this is who we are – singers and musicians. Other festivals have a “fringe” of free events and sessions, at Bideford we want the “fringe” to be at the heart of the festival. During the festival we have lunchtime and evening sessions in rooms with great acoustics just waiting for singers, and musicians of all persuasions.
Song and music sessions will be informally organised with an MC to get things going and make sure everyone gets a chance to sing and play.
If you would like to help with this, or lead a music session please email or call Hilary
