Fire FOLK

Join us in Parade Gardens for a fresh line-up of talented local FOLK bands, to celebrate the installation of the BathIRON bandstand balustrade - a beautiful sculptural piece which was hand-forged by teams of blacksmiths from all over the UK during BathIRON Festival in June 2018.

We've handpicked some of the best local folk bands from Bath, Frome, the Mendips and Bristol - with something for absolutely everyone so bring the whole family! There’ll be a bar and food stalls, and we'll also be celebrating the traditional heritage craft of the artist blacksmith with live forging demonstrations throughout the evening.

The FireFOLK line up will feature Sinnober, The Drystones, Nathanial Mann, The Striking Clock and The Railway Sleepers: with everything from atmospheric folk-swing harmonies, foot-stomping jazz funk to roof-raising, barn-storming gypsy punk - we promise it will be an absolute blast for the whole family. Don't miss it!

For more information about the BathIRON balustrade project and the Bath-based charity The National Heritage Ironwork Group who made it happen, or to sponsor a piece of the balustrade and dedicate it to someone special - go to www.nhig.org.uk.
