2007
Should be the best year yet for the Alison Arms Free Folk Festival. Great lineup for the main stage with the Anthony John Clarke Band, Marie Little and the Houghton Weavers headlining the three evening and Ken Nicol and Jez Lowe at the top of the billing for the afternoon concerts. Every event free and all happen within the confines of a small pub with camping just 50 yards away. The legendary singarounds will go on late into the night after the main event finishes.
In the midst of the concert area at the folk festival there was a robin's nest hidden in a clump of ivy.
