All shows in 2014 saw terrific attendances, plus many sellouts. Even Ed Sheeran graced the Bush Hall stage to play alongside For Vance. “London Folk & Roots Festival is the most exciting folk festival in the Capital this year and brings with it a wonderful array of emerging, new and established talent.”
