Our final special guest this year is ANTHONY JOHN CLARKE. AJ is one of the most popular performers on the folk scene. His Irish sense of humour is to the fore, while many of his songs can touch all of us. He MCs every year at Cropreddy festival, and he often tours with Fairport’s Dave Pegg. On Saturday 2nd he will be joined on stage by his wife JULIA PORTER on keyboards and vocals.

Making a welcome return to Denholm next week is the ever popular Jez Lowe. Many of his songs have become standards in the folk world and he is a hugely talented performer on stage. His well crafted songs and unique playing style make him one of England’s finest.
Jez will be appearing in the village hall on Saturday 2nd November at 8pm.

Colum Sands makes a welcome return to our festival this year. Hailing from Rostrevor County Down he is of course part of the world famous Sands Family. As a solo performer Colum is one of the best Irish storytellers, and his songs, while often very humorous, usually have a message or meaning that can touch us all. He will be headlining our evening concert on Friday 1st November.
