TENTERDEN FOLK FESTIVAL 2010

Thursday 30th September to Sunday 3rd October

The plans for Tenterden Folk Festival 2010 are already taking shape and there are several exiting changes and developments. 

The first major development is that this year’s festival will start on Thursday evening and also for the first time, there will be events during the day on Friday, as well as the usual evening events, making it four days of folk song, music and dance.  On Thursday evening we will be presenting a special show in conjunction with The Sinden Theatre at Homewood School.  Waltzers & Wonders: the Wakes is in Town features nine of Derbyshire’s finest folk performers: Ian Carter, Keith Kendrick, Sylvia Needham, Sarah Matthews, Doug Eunson, Michelle Short, John Adams, Alan Squires and Howard Mitchell.  The show is a musical journey through a fair and made a big impression at a number of large folk festivals lasts year. For more details of the show and the performers visit the shows home page at www.ramcompany.co.uk.

Plans are also well advanced to relocate the craft fair and parts of the music fair and street stalls into several large marquees on the Recreation Ground on Saturday and Sunday.  This will enable us to expand the number and variety of stalls and to use the Town Hall for other festival events such as workshops, concerts or a dance.  The music showcases, previously known as “the Woolpack Stage”, will also relocate into one of these marquees.  We will still be using the Tenterden Junior School hall for the stalls selling musical instruments, CDs, and similar items.       

Festival events will again be held throughout the town including The Tenterden Club, St. Mildred’s Parish Church, the Church Hall and of course the main town centre public houses as well as the streets and coach park.  Hopefully the newly paved area outside the Town Hall will also improve the festival facilities.

Many of the guests have already been booked and will include Alchemy, Barron Brady, Capella, Pete Castle, Karen and Colin Cater, The Claque, Roy Clinging, Cross O’th Hands, Paul and Liz Davenport, Doug Euson and Sarah Matthews, Roy Harris, Keith Kendrick, Dick Miles, Sylvia Needham, Mike Nicholson, George Papavgeris, The Ram Company, The Ram Company Ceilidh Band with caller Ian Carter, Mike Silver, Barrie and Ingrid Temple, Steve Turner and the Ticklish Allsorts Show as well as festival regulars such as John Barden, Peter Collins, Les Elvin, Bo Foaks, Bob Kenward, Marsh Warblers, Adrian O’, Roger Resch, Chris Roche, Andy Smythe, Spare Parts Concertina Band, The Travelling Folk and Malcolm Ward,
