Cambridge Folk Festival 2018 reveals The Den line-up

Cambridge Folk Festival will continue supporting new and rising talent with the announcement of The Den’s line-up. The Den is the festival’s space for young, up-and-coming acts, showcasing the stars of tomorrow in an intimate and relaxed setting.

Director, Neil Jones comments: “For years, folk music has been accessible to everyone and with The Den, we want to make sure that these nascent artists have a showcase in front of their fans and peers that can give them a springboard to move up the bill. We are very proud that The Den has seen some incredible people who’ve performed in the warm and appreciative environment, go on to become household names. We hope to be welcoming these artists back as festival headliners of the future!”.
