One day at BAAFest

This episode is all about a day at the Bellingham All Acoustic Festival – better known as BAAFest – in early September, 2024.The festival has been a prominent feature of the Northumberland music calendar since its inception in 2010. It would not happen but for the commitment and enthusiasm of its founders, Paul Mason and Fiona Landers (who perform as Landermason). In 2024, the festival was held over three days and included three music stages, workshops, exhibitors and catering, as well as on-site camping and easy access to the town.3tynespodcast was there on the second day to chat to the musicians and exhibitors, when the sunny weather further enhanced the relaxed, friendly atmosphere that BAAFest is known for. The musicians you hear in this episode are, in order of appearance:Storytellers Street BandIan K Brown and his ukelele workshopChris KellyChris FoxRestless OceansHicks and GoulbournDave Ellis and Boo HowardEthan ThomasTerry BlackerIndia Electric CompanyEthan Thomas I apologise to Plumhall for not including their music. The duo was fresh from a tour supporting Fairport Convention and the audience loved their set but I couldn’t get a good enough recording to do them justice. I highly recommend you check them out at https://www.plumhallmusic.com/.The next BAAFest is scheduled for 4th – 7th September 2025. Info is at https://baafest.com/ and you can follow the festival on Facebook. This is a public episode.
