The Kentish Horse
Markbeech, Kent
Thursday 7th June through Sunday 10th June 2012.
(Please note that the campsite opens at 4.00 pm on Thursday 7th June and not before!)
Featured Guests:
PHIL BEER – GREG MCDONALD & GEMMA GAYNER – FATE THE JUGGLER – SALLY IRONMONGER – THE TY WATLING BAND – DOUG HUDSON – HOT RATS
This established favourite among small festivals features some great guests, builds on last year’s successes and introduces some new features. Sadly, it will no longer feature the great Pig’s Ear, who started it all, due to the untimely death of Grant Rule in October 2011.
However, the other piglets – Sue, Lyndsey and Keith – will be in evidence behind the microphone and in the sessions.
Headlining Friday night we are delighted to welcome superb fiddler and multi-instrumentalist Phil Beer to the Kentish Horse. Phil is a leading light of the folk scene in his own right, and of course in his role as half of Show Of Hands.
Supporting Phil Beer on Friday will be excellent local duo, singer/songwriter Greg McDonald & fiddle-player Gemma Gayner
Saturday is given over to the all-day Friends of the Folk Ale Concert. This year our featured “friends” are:
Fate the Juggler
Sally Ironmonger
Plus
The Ty Watling Band launching their NEW ALBUM!
Sunday always features some comedy, and this year we are delighted to welcome back the man who started this tradition, the one and only Mr. Doug Hudson
Hot Rats will be finishing off the marquee programme in fine style on Sunday afternoon.
Full programme will be published shortly
