We are heading off to Purbeck Valley Folk Festival one again (27-30 August 2015). They have a staggeringly great line-up this year from the well established to the up and coming. Check our preview here which gives a small flavour of some of what’s on offer.

The legendary bluegrass band Hot Rize are heading to this year’s Purbeck Valley Folk Festival to join headliners which include Chris Difford, Justin Currie, Richard Thompson, Stornoway, Kathryn Tickell, Megson, Martha Tilston & the Scientists, Phillip Henry and Hannah Martin and The Moulettes.

The lineup for this year’s Purbeck Valley Folk Festival just keeps getting better but they have pulled out all stops this year with their latest announcement that Richard Thompson will headline their Friday night solo.

I met Tim Wilkinson at Purbeck Folk Festival and managed to persuade him to record two songs for us after hearing him perform a great set that left me wanting more.
