Despite the Covid pandemic that caused the cancellation of an in person festival in 2020, unexpected fuel shortages over the festival weekend in 2021, and torrential rain on the Saturday, Tenterden Folk Festival 2021 was a big success. Concerts and other indoor events were surprisingly well attended and people even came to the barn dance and risked close contact with friends and strangers. As far as we know there was no increase in Covid cases associated with the festival. Sadly, some outdoor events on the Saturday had to be cancelled as a result of the weather, including the procession. We learned from our experiences last year and have made a few small changes to this year’s festival as a result.
Brixton Tatterjacks and others spent several evenings playing music in the Tap Room at Old Dairy Brewery during the festival last year and were described by the staff as “lovely people”! The Tap Room will be a venue again this year. Also last year the Thursday evening concert was moved to the Tenterden Club and will be there again this year. We are also planning some improvements to the layout of the marquees on the Recreation Ground to provide more protection from any bad weather this year.

The festival continues until late Sunday night with concerts, music and song sessions, workshops, English Barn Dance and many other events. Last year we only had Chris and Steve Wilson with us but this year we will have the four Wilson brothers. Twice as good and twice as loud? We have several guests making their first visits to Tenterden this year including Jack Rutter, Martin & Shan Graebe and Paul Walker & Karen Pfeiffer. Other guests have been with us many times before and are back by popular demand.
Campsite: The campsite will either be in the 10 acre field beyond the Railway carpark or in Morphs Field, just over the level crossing before the Railway car park. Mr Edwards continues to work hard on improving both fields.
The popular procession on Saturday will, weather permitting, start from near the War Memorial in the High Street at 3:00 p.m. The procession continues through the town centre to finish on the Recreation Ground by the marquees. This year there will be a dance stage in the main marquee where appropriate teams will dance to entertain stallholders and visitors on Saturday and Sunday.
Concerts and Folk Clubs: Concerts featuring Festival guests start on Thursday evening and continue throughout the Festival. This year concert venues include the Tenterden Club, Town Hall and St. Mildred’s Church. Check the map to locate all the venues.
Workshops and meet the guest sessions: The Festival also offers the opportunity to attend other events which may offer the chance to participate, ask a few questions or just sit and listen. There are also many informal talks on folk related topics. Check out the diary section for full details.

This year your festival starts on Thursday evening with the regular Around Kent Folk sponsored concert. This is the only event not covered by the Full Weekend Tickets and features Keith Kendrick & Sylvia Needham and Dick Miles
Song and music sessions: The numerous friendly and informal sing-a-rounds and song and music sessions are, for many, one of the highlights of the Festival. These sessions will take place every day in various pubs and gardens, so there is sure to be one that suits your taste or mood. For the first time last year sessions were also held in the Tap Room at the Old Dairy Brewery and we are very pleased to have been invited back there this year. You can come along to some sessions and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere even if you do not want to sing or play.
Dance displays: The Festival continues to attract Morris sides and dance display teams from across the country including regular teams and new ones. They will all take to the town centre streets on Saturday and Sunday, together with other street entertainers and a one man band. Dance styles will include Cotswold, Border, Molly, Clog and Garland, as well as Slovakian, Bulgarian, Appalachian and other international traditions and styles.
Venues and public houses: Venues include The Town Hall, Recreation Ground, High Street, Tenterden Club, St Mildred’s Church and the Glebe Hall. Events also take place in The Vine, White Lion Saddlery, William Caxton (if still open), Woolpack, Ancient Boro and in the Tap Room at the Old Dairy Brewery.

The Wilson Family
“Singing with the Wilson Family makes life a whole lot easier”
21
- Roy Harris
The present-day group are the original core members, Tom, Chris and Steve and youngest brother Mike.
“The Northern Wilsonia - a vocal orchestra!”
- Peter Bellamy
The accepted benchmark for powerhouse unaccompanied singing, they were awarded the Gold Badge of the English Folk Dance & Song Society (EFDSS) in 2017, the highest honour the society can bestow.
“They have synthesised the qualities of all their major influences, which sets them apart as one of the foremost harmony groups entertaining folk audiences today”
Their influences have said of them:
The Wilson Family is an English folk music group from Billingham, Teesside, North East England. They have been singing and performing a cappella folk songs since 1974.
-
Over those decades the group members have consisted of sister Pat and five brothers: Tom, Chris, Steve, Ken and Mike.
Dick Gaughan
“There’s a musical honesty about them that links past and present together. They are among the people who go about singing traditional songs that move me - which I really love, because that’s what I try to do. But what appeals to me about them, apart from their musical skill, is their honesty. They are what they are and do what they do and say what they say and it’s very direct and I love that. They’re not pretenders.”
The Wilson Family www.thewilsonfamilyalbum.co.ukwebsite:
Sting has recently said of them: “They have a family sound and a natural, bonedeep understanding of music and harmony. And it’s quite something.”
- Lou Killen
