...and finally!

Just to say a big THANK YOU! to everyone who came to this year's event - the Festival isnt a Festival without you. We hope you enjoyed it.

Same time next year...?

They are nifty...and they don't half..er..Shoogle!

The Sunday (and final) night of the Festival drew to a close with a high energy set from the wonderful Shooglenifty. All of the band inexplicably had fish on their heads. We dont know why...we actually don't care as we were all too busy enjoying what was a great end to the whole event.

...and that, everyone, was the BBC Radio 2 Cambridge Folk Festival

Nanci Griffiths

The legend that is Nanci Griffiths played a fantastic set Sunday night to a rapturous welcome from the Festival audience.

Which just leaves...

A musical Tsunami with Toumani!

A slice of Malian music arrives at Cambridge with a tremendous performance from Toumani Diabate and Symmetric Orchestra who lives up to the description of the 'Jimi Hendrix of Kora'

(UpTown) Rankin...

This is Ken Rankin (on the left). Ken is the Production Manager of the Festival and his team work dilligently in the build up to the event, working on all aspects of the production of the Festival. In the week leading up to the event Ken and his team spend the majority of their time down at Cherry Hinton. If you see this man on site, shake his hand or buy him a beer. He's an absolute legend.

A slice of soul....

At 6.05pm James Hunter took to stage 1, and injected some good time white soul into proceedings. He looks like he comes from the era of the Kray Twins and has a sound to match. A one man R'n'B machine in the true sense of the term and highly regarded by his peers including Van Morrison. James has transformed the Media Liason caravan into a non-stop Soul Train. Highly regarded Press Officer at the festival, Christina McNally is showing us how its done with her, effortless, graceful boogie time grooves. You go girl!
