Run by Leigh Folk Arts Association, organisers of Leigh Folk Festival, the UK's largest free folk festival in the UK.
While Southend and the ‘Thames Delta’ are probably best known for the blues and pub-rock bands of the 60s and 70s, as well as today’s local heroes, it has always supported a flourishing folk and acoustic music scene and has in recent years seen poetry and storytelling take to the stages, along with traditional dance sides and a truly special procession.
What’s more we have more mud than Glastonbury… but only when the tide is out!

Just came upon this channel for the first time. I live in USA for a very long time but originally from UK.. Glad I found this channel. Some really good singers who I am not familiar with. Lucy Kitt, very talented. She looks quite young but seems like she has been playing guitar a long time.
They have now sold lots more records and lots of support for having the courage to speak the truth unlike you weaklings 🤦♂️
You are facist book burners for cancelling Whom by fire,for protecting children from groomers in online comments,you make me physically sick 🤬
sad woke jokes will pander themselves into obliteration by promoing paedos
Sidelined great radio host, and great bloke too
Top chap when's he coming our way?.
To be good
Yes really lovely & awesome positive energy. Good stuff!!!
So very lovely
Superbe!
Great to hear your music again, wonderful stuff.
When this will happen
Walking through the gate with an expression of wonder at 0:15 I promise I'm not an actor!
Brilliant, thanks Dave!
c'est très beau, intemporel, poétique...
Dear 'DITS': After our little message share on UA-cam to discover the name of your first song here, "Old Time" - I can't put into words just how much I absolutely LOVE and adore that song and your voices. Bliss. Thank you. I also really enjoy your song "Dust in the sunlight" too :)) Your voices blend so well on all of your tracks. Much Love and Hugs, Anita xxxx<3<3<3<3.

Would be great to be able to add tags for the start times of different sets. J.R Hemingway for example is : ua-cam.com/video/1XZHpJA6Mh8/v-deo.html Thanks for the event, it's been my soundtrack working yesterday and today.
It looks a lot of fun! You've brought back memories of my youth of listening to one of my very favourite bands back then: Japan "All Tomorrow's Parties." Thank you :)) (Velvet Underground before my time!) Much Love, Anita xxxx<3.
