Fatea Editor Neil King said:
“Love Folk and the supporting Busk Love Folk have become an important part of the start of the festival season. Busk Love Folk is great opportunity to add to a musicians music CV and build towards a full festival season with a great and fun experience behind them. We also been able to promote highlight Busk Love Folk acts to full stage performances”
To be considered for a BUSK LOVE FOLK slot you will need to send an mp3 of the song that you best feel represents you as an act, link to a video plus a short biog and contact phone number to info@fatea.co.uk. Applications must be submitted by the 25th of November with the successful applicants notified early December followed by an announcement on the festival website and a media release.
Main stage Love Folk acts will be announced very soon
Building a new folk audience and supporting new artists is important to us and this is one of the ways we are able to play a part.
The acts will be selling their CD’s so if you like something you hear, you can take a bit of #LoveFolkFest home with you. It’s a great chance to have a look round the venue, grab a coffee and a piece of cake from our Bakery and take advantage of great FREE music!”
Love Folk – the little festival with a big heart invites you to spend the most romantic weekend of the year singing, dancing drinking, eating and generally loving folk
