Allen Valleys Folk Festival , Allen Valleys, Northumberland - 29th September 2017
This was our first experience of this particular festival, it's also the first for us where it's been centred around the heart of a village in small venues where you can get up close and personal with the performers. We absolutely loved it. We didn't see every band but did catch almost all of those we'd wanted to see, so I'd say that the programme had just about the right level of choice. It was especially good to see bands based in the north of England/Scotland but that's why we decided to give it a try. We loved the idea of the bursary for young musicians from the area but it's a shame that we didn't at least get to hear the winners.
It was tremendously good value, we had weekend tickets booked early so got a very good deal indeed. We'd have been happy to pay a good deal more and it's almost a sure thing that we'll come again, hopefully bringing friends with us to share the experience.

The music was brilliant from start to finish, a great mix of dancing, workshops and sit-down gigs with highly skilled and thought provoking performances. The burning of the wolf of Allendale was a particular highlight, as was the clog dancing workshop and the energy of Ezza.

The event had excellent music, some traditional, some avant garde and some experimental. The festival could benefit of a greater diversity of folk bands, singer songwriters and attendees.

Loved it, the sense of community is palpable and great people. Will definitely come back next year. This is one of the best small festivals I have been to this year.
