Isle of Wight Folk Music -Magical May 2022

So much happening

April was absolutely packed with folk events. One evening hosted four events, two of them in aid of Ukraine. The Ukranian Support Day in Ryde raised over £3000 and The Caulkheads, JC, Ian Watterson and friends took donations of £350 at their barn dance. Well done to all concerned!

St George’s Day was suitably filled with the jangle of morris bells and songs about the patron saint.

Magical May

May is shaping up to be equally busy. The Longstones saw a sizeable crowd gather to welcome the rising sun.

Currently, 31 one-off events in May 2022 are listed on the Events page, and that does not include regular clubs and folk nights. Highlights: Bob’s Basement 20th Anniversary Celebrations at the start of the month; Wolverton Folk and Blues Fair on Saturday 14th and the expanded Yarmouth Sea Songs and Shanties starting on Friday 27th May.
