Cheltenham Folk Festival
The Cheltenham Folk Festival 2010 is set to storm Gloucestershire, with folk fans from around the world snapping-up tickets for what promises to be another highlight in the county’s musical calendar.
Cheltenham Folk Festival 2010 is a anticipated fixture on the south west music calendar, with some of the biggest names in the folk music scene gathering in Cheltenham from Friday 12 to Sunday 14 February 2010.
In 1996 Cheltenham Folk Club organiser John Shorter came up with the idea for a mid-winter folk event to banish the winter the blues, wanting to produce an event that preserved the roots of folk tradition, showcased budding new talent and created a family atmosphere all at the same time. More than a decade on and the Cheltenham Folk Festival has not only become an institution in Gloucestershire’s event calendar, but a folk extravaganza known around the world.
