Peter Knight & Ian CutlerPeter Knight & Ian CutlerWent to the first 'SPANFEST' folk festival, hosted by legendary British Folk/Rock band Steeleye-Span. Set in the grounds of a Tudor House, event attracted probaby a few thousand festival goers. Most of Britains best Known fiddle players supported the event.

Ruth Angell & Jo HamiltonRuth Angell & Jo Hamilton30 miles away the annual Cambridge Folk Festival was also happening, which must have affected some of the artists/usual folk festival goers. Phil Beer of 'Show of Hands' & Feast of Fiddles didnt attend, for one. Cambridge is our biggest folk event but ive no regrets about supporting this one. It is very similar to Fairport Convention's Cropready Festival. I prefer the setting of this festival, the medieval house & grounds. A lot of fiddle players in various bands, including Morris Dancers.
