The two events will be free to enjoy.
Saturday 20th September will feature two Americana bands (further details will follow soon), and Sunday 21st September
will host a Celtic theme featuring The Courtiers from Portsmouth and from Yorkshire, Gaelforce.
Gaelforce
Gaelforce, Yorkshire’s premier Celtic Folk Rock band, delivers a high-energy mix of electrified traditional folk songs, original compositions, and foot-stomping jigs and reels, with highland bagpipes, fiddle, guitar, bass & drums.
Winners of the introducing stage 2023 at the last Great British Folk Festival to an audience of 2000+ by public vote, they have also played at Coast Ibiza Festival, Cropredy Fringe Festival, Ely Folk Festival + more.
The Courtiers
The Courtiers are a Portsmouth based four piece Celtic folk band. They draw on traditional music influences from both sides of the Atlantic to create a lively and eclectic mix of foot-stomping sounds.
Regulars within their local folk scene and various festivals, they are known for their energy, musicianship and entertaining banter (not to mention their secret weapon, the foot-based percussive wizardry that leaves audiences both tapping their feet and scratching their heads!).
