My one and only little festival has fallen foul of Boris's 6 in a bed rule and been cancelled.
Bum, I'm more disappointed than I should be.

Chippenham has already been cancelled - 2021 Official Web Site (chippfolk.co.uk)
The uncertainty must be a nightmare for organisers of summer festivals. Normally, they would be busy selling ‘early bird’ tickets in January.

Bearded Theory has already decided to move from May until September, with a new line up. September could be a busy month for festivals if things go to plan.

Problem is that September nights can often be far too cold for camping.

Sad, but inevitable. Time to wait and see how many other festivals take their cue from this news... |

Two reasons to hope for the Aug/Sept festivals at least: a) an extra couple of months, and b) they don't have anywhere near the same infrastructures to be created as Glastonbury does. Having said all that, I reckon it will be 2022 before we see any proper festival activity.... |

The latest newsletter from the Sidmouth festival is reasonably upbeat. They are encouraged by the success of the vaccine roll-out, but will make a final decision about this year’s festival in early April. In the meantime, they are promoting online gigs by Chris Smither and Bruce Molsky.

Interesting piece in this weekend 's i newspaper about WOMADelaide. The capacity has been reduced to 25% (Now 6,500) and the attendees are seated and socially distanced on plastic picnic chairs.
Not a complete answer by any means, but a step in the right direction?

WOMAD have just put tickets for this year's edition back on sale... July 24th 25th. With some organisational changes, of course, but positive news!

IMO it is high time that one of the folk festivals had a "folk-rock day" to celebrate the bands that have emerged over the last 10 years .... Trad Arrr, Green Diesel, Sam Kelly's, Blackbeard's, False Lights, Joshua Burnell's etc. Could it ever happen or would organisers always be reluctant to put all of their eggs in one basket in this way? Really this is something that Cropredy should be doing, but as we have discussed several times before, in recent decades it has become so big that it has to have acts of wider appeal in order to break even ...

We shall see you there, Adam. Somewhere in the Big Top arena, watching Hawkwind, probably. |

We have a date on the calendar for one of our faves, Derby folk festival in October, fingers crossed and all that.  |
