In pictures: Day two of Shrewsbury Folk Festival sees thousands enjoying the music, dance and Americana
Shrewsbury Folk Festival is in full swing with thousands enjoying the music, dance and Americana.
The family and dog friendly festival has become one of the country’s leading folk events since it moved to Shrewsbury in 2006 and it now attracts around 7,000 visitors each year.
As well as a stellar line-up of folk, Americana, blues and world music across four music stages, there is a dance tent hosting ceilidhs and other social dances, individual youth and children festivals and dozens of workshops in everything from song writing to crafting.
Day two got underway on Saturday, and saw some big name acts take to the main stage. This included The Wandering Hearts, who kicked off the music at 12.30pm.
The London-based retro act were followed by Sutou Susso Band, The Celtic Social Clib, The Longest Johns, Dream in Colours and the Peatbog Faeries.
