Highlights
For a long time, I've wanted to mark moments in the seasons with events and now that I'm Bard of Bath I get to do it! So I've teamed up with Kelston Records to invite you to join poets, storytellers and a ceilidh band on 21st June at Kelston Roundhill near Keynsham, the focal point of the landscape, to watch the sunset on the longest day and celebrate light with words and dancing! Sounds like a good way to spend Midsummer's Eve, right?
We have poets from Words and Ears, the local farmer, tellers from The Raven and Greenbank Hags and a ceilidh band lead by Marick Baxter from Bath Folk Fest, but if there is something you are desperate to do for the Solstice, let Conor know at conormtwhelan@gmail.com.

What a brilliant festival. Loved the line up and wow what a way to end the festival with Cara Dillon...such a mix of emotions. Well done to the organisers. X
An incredible weekend of folk music, dance and stories.
Will tonight be the cherry on the cake?
Only snapped a few photos yesterday, but I can honestly say @BristolFolkFest was one of my favourite gigs ever - great venue, great people, great music. Thanks for having me!

We're such lucky #Wiltshire folk w/access to art, music & other good things. Had great BH weekend fairly locally: @BristolFolkFest @StStephensBS & @folkhouse on Sat, pub lunch @atworthhart & then @3crownspub Beer & Cider Festival in #Chippenham on Sun. (#GoT on Monday though.)

Had a wonderful time at @BristolFolkFest yesterday. A fantastic weekend of music, and one of the nicest gigs I’ve ever done in @stgeorgesbris. Huge congratulations to the @antmiles and the rest of the team for making it happen.
I’ve tried dancing Rapper (short sword dance) - we were always told to take it slowly or we’d lose our ears... These guys obviously didn’t listen!! Performing today at @BristolFolkFest in @@stgeorgesbris bar #BristolFolkFest
