In tribute to the legacy of British Folk Rock, the weekend will be topped off by a rare headline set from the legendary guitarist Richard Thompson.
Holding a coveted spot in Rolling Stone’s “Greatest Guitarists of All Time”, Thompson counts Lifetime Achievement Awards from both the Americana Music Association and the BBC amongst his many accolades. Having performed at Glastonbury earlier this year, this will be a rare appearance from an icon of British Folk Rock; a show not to be missed.
