25th April - 1st May + highlights to 8th May

Opinions of artists are often taken from club/promoters' publicity and might not be my own opinion (there's several I haven't even heard of, let alone heard!).  However, I have no hestiation in recommending Pete Coe, The Askew Sisters, Steve Donelly, Sam Lee, Jez Lowe & the Bad Pennies, Tom McConville, Spiers & Boden (although you'd be lucky if there's any seats left) - and Cara Dillon, Eliza Gilkyson, Greg Russell & Ciaran Algar, Winter Wilson, and Damien Clarke amongst others, could well be worth a listen.  Wishing a speedy recovery to Jeff Henry, who's a special friend of Folk For All.  Keep music live!  Support our folk clubs and events!
