Cambridge punts gets lost...


Well, it wouldn't be Cambridge without some punting. This couple though seem to have taken somewhat of a detour. The things people do to get to the Festival ... :0)

It wouldn't be a festival without juggling!

For some Festival go-ers, Saturday morning meant only one thing...and that's the Festival's juggling workshop. The only juggling act for the rest of the day is working out which acts to see on which stage - so many great acts to choose from!

Karine Polwart gets Cambridge singing to kick off Day 3

Scottish singer songwriter (and Folk Festival 'celebrity blogger') Karine Polwart wakes Cambridge up from its camping stupor with a singing workshop in the campsite. Following the festivities of The Levellers headline set the night before, lots of bleary eyed festival go-ers and a suprising number of fresh faced ones came out for a mass sing-a-long. What a lovely start to day 3.

Friday night ends in style

The mixed weather didn't dampen spirits on Friday night. The Levellers finished off the evening in stye with a rousing set. On to day 3...

Cambridge revellers simply love The Levellers



The Levellers kicked off the last performance of Friday night with a bang! Their energy on stage completely wowed the audience who didn't stop dancing the whole time and you were left buzzing at the end of the set.






They also did two encores with Billy Bragg joining them on stage for the last song. It was incredible - what a night!

Simply Fantasma!



Grupo Fantasma closed stage 2 on Friday night. The have a funky Latin style that got the audiences up on their feet and dancing right to the end!
