We are still glowing over the amazing performances from 13 very different artists from across the spectrum of folk, roots and beyond! They come to Mountville knowing that our compensation is small at best, and yet trusting us to put them and their art in the absolute best light possible, and to a fantastic audience many of whom will be experiencing them for the first time.
So here are TWO free things you can do right now to help support these talented artists, and perhaps go see them again doing a full show. Please follow everyone you enjoyed on whatever social media platform(s) you use, and also subscribe to any email list they might have to allow them to directly get news to you instead of having to outwit social media algorithms. Small and easy things, but you're helping us raise that tide to lift all boats even more - and on behalf of all of us involved with Mountville 2024, that is deeply appreciated indeed!
