Cambridge Folk Festival

I say, Cambridge is looking rather refreshing as we set up for day two of the Cambridge Folk Festival. The Crabbie’s Bus arrived on Wednesday and the Crabbie’s bar was assembled and is now in full flow.

Cambridge Folk Festival is one of the longest running Folk Festivals in the world, don’t you know.  Starting in 1964, it was the brainchild of Ken Woolard who had been inspired by a documentary that he had seen called ‘Jazz on a Summers Day’ – that’s quite a fitting description to what he has achieved with this wonderful Festival.

 

The event has come an incredibly long way since its humble beginnings of roughly 1,400 patrons when it first began. Now it has a daily crowd swell of 10,000 with tickets selling out within hours! The festival is now organised by those spiffing chaps and chapettes at Cambridge City Council and over 200 supplementary staff.

The Crabbie’s AGB Team is awfully proud to be a part of such a wonderful event. We hope that we see some of you down there, and if not, maybe scribble it in your diary for next year as this is not an event to be missed.

Warmest,

Camilla
