Summer 2024 Festival Successful
The Melton Folk Festival organised by the Melton Folk Club on the weekend of 3rd and 4th August 2024 was a superb success with 89 Acts appearing over 18 venues in Melton Mowbray.
A few quotes from Facebook responses to the event:
Thanks Adrian. It were brilliant pal! Nobody else could put on such a fest. The whole thing and the way it’s organised is so wonderfull folky. Of the people for the people. Big organised big ticket events fade into insignificance imho!
Dave Bottemley
What a brilliant first day we have had playing at Anne of Cleeves, Charlie’s bar and The Boat. Thanks to everyone who came to see us.
Jack’s Rake
The festival was brilliant again Adrian, thank you for your continued (crazy) vision of what might be possible, and for keeping it going year after year xx
