Bermondsey Folk Festival is back on Saturday, 27 September 2025 in the Blue market (SE16 3UQ) from 12 noon to 5 pm, in an event that will feature Jacken Elswyth (amazing banjo player with Shovel Dance Collective), Cunning Folk (launching new album Folk Process 2), Bity Booker, Indika Akuus, Gemma Khawaja, Okinawa Sanshinkai and others.
The festival has been going in one from or other since 2015. I remember seeing the great Andy Irvine (Sweeney's Men, Planxty etc.) playing at the 2019 iteration at the Biscuit Factory. Incidentally Andy is back at the Ivy House SE15 in November at the Goose is Out folk club).
