Our headline acts include rare solo performances from some local legends who have been at the top of Folk music with their bands over the last 4 decades: Saturday Night's main headline act will be Alan Prosser - founding member and driving force in the Oyster Band he will perform with Caravan's multi instrumentalist Geoffrey Richardson.  Sunday night will be Doug Hudson- front man for Hot Rats and stand-up performer.
For Friday night we are  fortunate to bring together on the same stage 2 folk "super-acts"- Sam Brothers and Callum Sutton. Both of them emerged from street busking in Canterbury and Herne Bay to become now, well-established and popular acts on both the local, National and International Folk/Blue Scenes
We also offer the highly entertaining High Chapparals and Luna Barge who will bring both fun and wackiness to the stage.
 

There will again be differing Festival experiences with the "Edge of Town Venue" providing camping, open stage and concert venue at Hampton Bay park and as previous the main "Around Town" Festival on the Saturday with over 10 venues throughout Mortimer Street and central Herne Bay. As usual there will be concerts, plugged in and unplugged, mixed acoustic venues, acoustic hub, Folk club, music sessions, singalongs, floor spots, ceillidh, shanties, street acts, Morris dancers, and so much more.

Remember - it is all FREE!!
