Folk stars Katherine Priddy and Jon Boden & The Remnant Kings are among the national and local artists confirmed for a free family music concert at Cherry Hinton Hall on 2 August.

The Folk in the City outdoor concert, organised by Cambridge City Council, is set to highlight folk music’s rich traditions and vibrant future, also featuring Cambridge-based singer-songwriter Sean O’Hanrahan, folk musicians Sam Sweeney and Grace Smith – known for deeply expressive playing – and Kate Griffin and Ford Collier exploring contemporary folk with Celtic, bluegrass and Indian influences.

Young musicians from this year’s Folk Summer School will open the event, followed by a kids’ show with CBeebies star Nick Cope, while a ceilidh closes the proceedings in style!
