London Folk Guild at Wilderness Festival
The London Folk Guild - a collaboration of like-minded venues, independent promoters and festival programmers - are delighted to be returning to Wilderness. The folk collective will bring the very best in folk, blues, acoustic, Americana, bluegrass, roots and country from the UK and around the world to the festival, on 10-12th August at Cornbury Park.
In a huge bespoke timber frame-barn, everything from ramshackle energetic hoedowns played by cap-wearing troubadours, foot-stomping folk, monster ceilidhs, gypsy jazz swing, talented singer songwriters and traditional folk five-piecers of the highest quality, will be played.
