With three weeks to go work has started on building the Festival site. It's a huge undertaking and obviously the weather being the way it is is not ideal for the hard working production team on site.
On the subject of weather, we are keeping one eye on the long term forecast and also crossing our fingers. After all this rain it would be great for the sun to put its folky hat on and shine for us.
Artsists are also now putting their names down for signings in the MOJO signing tent so don't forget to pop along and see some of your favourites and get your CDs signed.

About Me
- The Co-operative Cambridge Folk Festival
- The Cambridge Folk Festival is one of the premier music events in Europe and one of the longest running and most famous folk festivals in the world. It has become hugely popular and a regular sell out attracting ten thousand people, many of whom return year after year. The Festival is renowned for its eclectic mix of music and a wide definition of what might be considered folk. The best traditional folk artists from the UK and Ireland rub shoulders with more contemporary acts, the finest American country, blues and roots artists, acclaimed singer songwriters and even the odd pop star. Bluegrass, gospel, cajun, zydeco, jazz, world, klezmer and a ceilidh are also regular features. The line up has reflected the many changes in the music scene from the 60s to the present and is always a hotbed mix of the old and the new. The list of performers who have appeared reads like a who’s who and the Festival has been a launching pad for many now well known artists.

Any chance of some pictures of the site being constructed?
Thanks
Andy
Yeah, a great idea. How about daily pictures taken from the same three or four points.
And while we're on great ideas, how about more frequent postings than once a fortnight.
And finally, why do people have to have a Google account before they can post. It's unnecessarily restrictive, and any spam or iffy posts can always be removed by whoever manages the blog anyway.
