FEATURED FESTIVAL: Peter Optical, Sidmouth Folk Festival
Sidmouth Folk Festival Diamond Anniversary - 1st to 8th Aug
Sidmouth FolkWeek marks a significant birthday this year: it’s Diamond Anniversary, celebrating 60 years of folk festivals held in the picturesque red cliff-lined East Devon coastal resort. From 1st-8th August, the streets and seafront will bustle with colourful dance displays and buskers; the town’s venues and pubs will packed to the gills with music, dance and song. The event has come a long way since its early years. The first organisers of the festival back in 1955 recognised Sidmouth as “an ideal place for a seaside holiday with dancing.” Les Barclay, a first festival participant (who makes a welcome return in 2014) recalls that “his legs were aching with all the dancing!” 100 dancing fans attended - a far cry from the current Sidmouth FolkWeek that attracts tens of thousands of visitors to the town. In a beautiful completing of the circle, some special dance displays will take place in Connaught Gardens, where the festival started in 1955, as well as there being a rich array of special events across the festival, rounded off by the spectacular finale Torchlight Procession. Some things never change! Dancing is still at the heart of the current festival, and the spirit of diversity and community which the event prides itself on remains strong. Over the years the festival has evolved, with
song, music, storytelling, children’s events, youth sessions, singarounds, workshops, talks and much more, all being added to the bill! This year, the “granddaddy of all folk festivals” offers up a vintage line-up, fitting for its Diamond Anniversary, with old friends and favourites and new, rising stars sharing stages. Major headline concert names, include the likes of Streets of London songwriter Ralph McTell, the mega Oysterband, and the livewire Quebecois Yves Lambert Trio, whose frontman led the blazing La Bottine Souriante who were such a massive hit at the Knowle Arena back in the 1990s. New stars - like Lisa Knapp and the Moulettes - show where the folk tradition is headed next, and encourage cross-generational audiences to share their passion for music. Families’ needs are well met in an exciting and jampacked programme of children’s events based in Blackmore Gardens, as well as a series of popular Family Evening Shows. Our youth programme, Shooting Roots celebrates its 21st year this August. The 2014 festival has a plethora of anniversary events across the many areas of the festival.
