Many people will be familiar with old-time music through the films ‘Oh Brother Where Art Thou’ and ‘Cold Mountain’. This festival will bring to rural West Wales the sounds of fiddles, banjos, guitars and feet amongst other things for a weekend of exuberant enjoyment with top artists, including concerts, dances, workshops, jams and an open stage.
Angle is a spectacular location right on the end of the southern Pembrokeshire peninsula in the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. Both West Angle Bay (which holds a Green Coast Award) and the nearby Freshwater West beach and sand dunes have been designated SSSIs. The estuary of the river Cleddau is known for its interesting and abundant bird life. The village has two pubs and a shop.
The festival is being organised by the newly-formed Pembrokeshire Eclectic Music Society (PEMS)
Sponsors
We gratefully acknowledge and appreciate sponsorship from: Chevron (our neighbours!), Talbot Timber, The Night Out Scheme, FOAOTMAD and Mason Brothers, without whom the event would not have been able to go ahead in its full form.
Also we have just received an offer of sponsorship from the Fiddle Festival of Wales - let us know anyone if you have ever heard of a festival sponsoring another festival before! We think it’s great!
