Fabulous feastof folk music

Shoreham’s Ropetackle is promising a fabulous feast of folk music this October.

Ropetackle spokesman Mark Phillips said; “We put on a wide variety of musical genres at Ropetackle, and without a doubt one of the most popular is the harmony-rich, traditionally-inspired, instrumentally-enchanting genre of folk music.

“Previously we’ve had the pleasure of hosting several big names from the folk arena, and this October expect more as the stars align for something of a folk take-over, with several captivating folk artists each bringing their unique take on this musical craft to the Ropetackle stage.’
