• Peggy Seeger with her sons Neill and Calum MacColl
• Rachel Newton and Lauren MacColl
• Sam Lee and his band
• Show of Hands (Steve Knightley and Phil Beer)

When: Bank Holiday Monday 31st August from 2pm BST for over six and a half hours of unique music.

Where: from the Folk on Foot YouTube Channel and Facebook page – direct to your front room.

Donate to make it happen

Half the money we raise will go to the charity Help Musicians – which supports musicians undergoing financial hardship – and the other half will be divided equally between the artists who take part in the Festival. Music is hugely important in lifting our spirits and salving our souls in these troubling times, so please make a donation to support the talented people who create it.
