This splendid independent boutique festival is in its fourth year, and
 this is the year of the folk act.  FFS Favourites Noah and the Whale,
 Alessi’s Ark and Ryan O’Reilly are included on the ever-expanding line
 up for this musical extravaganza, which will see entertainment spread
 across six stages.
 The Folk Stage will be presided over by our lovely friends at
 Communion who have been purveying their fine taste to the converted at
 their club nights for some time now.  Expect an expertly curated bill
 from these fellahs.
 Attendees at the festival (which is rather a snip at £75 for the
 weekend) will also have the opportunity to eat all sorts of wholesome
 organic fare, take a lesson in burlesque striptease or learn to knit.
 The festival, at West Littletown Down, near Bristol, will be alive
 with creativity and happy vibes from the 14th to 16th of August.
