As you may have picked up in previous articles Folk Radio UK is co-sponsoring this years Isambard Folk Award along with our good friend Songs from the Shed.
The finals take place this evening when the judges, ourselves and Songs from the Shed included, will have the difficult task of choosing between the five finalists: Evening Chorus (from Cardiff) and London-based Common Tongues and Mishaped Pearls plus duos Solarference (Devon/Bristol) and Josienne Clarke and Ben Walker (London/Worcestershire).
Each act will perform a fifteen minute set before a winner is chosen. The acts are very varied which will make this a promising and entertaining evening. Entry to this great event is completely free. You can still reserve a ticket by calling the Colston Hall box office on 0117 922 3686. Tickets must be collected between 6-7pm this evening.
