Broadstairs Folk Week 2010

SHOOTING ROOTS - SELL-OUT SHOW!

Thank you to all of you who contributed to the absolutely fabulous Friday Shooting Roots show at the end of the festival. It was packed with every generation enjoying a sensational array of talent from the workshops that had taken place over the week. The Brilliant Band; the Funky World Band; the Marvellous Morris and drama and colour from the Theatre workshops kept us all entertained.

Don't forget - the Sounds Fresh folk music project with Kent Music Schooland Shooting Roots kicks off again in September - and it's free! So if you were wishing you had joined in - and are aged between 8 and 18 - now is your chance!
