The Urban Folk Quartet, Kim Lowings & The Greenwood, The Outside Track, Kitty MacFarlane, Jack Cookson, Suntrap (1)

Walton Folk Festival

Our first ever all-day folk festival features six of the finest acts on the UK scene, in two sessions from lunchtime until late. Between acts on the main stage, we’ll also have short sets from young singer-songwriters in the courtyard.

Midday – Suntrap, Jack Cookson, Kitty Macfarlane and The Outside Track
Starting at 12:15pm, the afternoon session kicks off with local 4-piece favourites Suntrap, followed by Jack Cookson (nominated for the BBC Radio 2 Young Folk Award 2016), Kitty Macfarlane (Somerset-based singer and songwriter) and closes with The Outside Track – a 5 piece with a fusion of Scots, Irish and Cape Breton songs, tunes and stepdance.

7:30pm – Kim Lowings and The Greenwood, The Urban Folk Quartet
Inspired by the folk tradition, Kim Lowings and The Greenwood perform their songs with a contemporary twist. Their live shows are an energetic blend of original compositions and traditional songs.

"Folk songs can get a bit bogged down in wronged maidens and drowned sailors; these made you want to drum your heels and swirl through very English fields" FATEA

Joe Broughton, Paloma Trigás, Tom Chapman and Dan Walsh are The Urban Folk Quartet. Four highly accomplished musicians, a dozen instruments and four voices coming together to craft a knockout show of globally–influenced, electrifying acoustic music that has been taking the international folk scene by storm.
