The London Folk and Roots Festival is nearly upon us!
Now in its second year, the Festival will bring together an intriguing and eclectic array of established Folk, Roots and Americana artists from all over the world. Spread across many recognised London venues, churches, pubs and clubs, the festival is set to dominate the live music calendar this autumn, with the diverse lineup catering for all tastes.
