The Dylan project included Steve Gibbons, Dave Pegg, Gerry Conway and PJ Wright.
Sunday artists entered in approx appearance order.

Comments and Reviews

chrisb 3rd Oct 2017		Further info on the cancellation of Stackridge appears on their Stackridge.net website. "In view of the awful weather conditions we have reluctantly cancelled our appearances @ Farncombe on Dec. 3rd & Skegness on Dec. 5th. We hate doing this but it is really too risky to drive a round trip of 500 miles.The Promoters were also concerned that even if we made it there was a good chance that a high % of the audience would not be able to get to the venue." and further.. "We are very sorry that we had to pull out of appearing at The Great British Folk Festival at Skegness. There have been some misconceptions. Stackridge were never booked for a headline appearance on Saturday 4th Dec. Our original ( verbal ) agreement was to play at 2.30pm on Sunday 5th. This was made quite clear on the Gigs page on this Website and on FaceBook / MySpace etc. On Weds.1st we were told we were playing on the Saturday, but the promoters were told this was impossible as two members of the band had a prior committment in Bath that night. We were then moved to a 4.00pm slot on Sunday. On Thursday 2nd the weather was appalling , the forecast was bad and our gig at Farncombe,Surrey on the following night was cancelled by the Venue as roads were "impassable".We had to make a decision then to give enough time for announcements to be made.Leaving it any later would have been unfair on the promoters & the public. We hate cancelling gigs.The last thing we want to do is upset loyal followers.We had to make the decision based on the evidence we had on Thursday 2nd."
