Returning for a remarkable 52nd consecutive year, the Cambridge Folk Festival once more promises another stellar musical line-up for 2016. Among the first names to be announced for this year’s event is Irish folk legend Christy Moore who will be making an exclusive English festival appearance at what is one of the longest running and most famous folk festivals in the world. Joining him at the top of the bill will be another supreme Irish talent, the rockabilly singer Imelda May and the highly acclaimed Gypsy folk-punk band Gogol Bordello.
Other top names who will be heading to the picturesque grounds of Cherry Hinton Hall come the last weekend in July include the American folk-influenced country singer-songwriter and multi-Grammy award winner Mary Chapin Capenter, the celebrated Irish musician and member of both The Frames and The Swell Season, Glen Hansard, those masters of cross-cultural collaborations Afro Celt Sound System, the wonderful English folk singer and songwriter from Penistone, Barnsley, Kate Rusby, and affirming that the festival’s musical reach now stretches far beyond that of the grand folk tradition, the Screaming Eagle of Soul himself, Charles Bradley who will be appearing at Cambridge Folk Festival with his regular backing band the Extraordinaires.
