Broadstairs Folk Week












































Broadstairs Folk week is annually followed around the world via the internet with this year's festival's theme celebrating the American influence in the development of folk blues and root music. The Voice of America is covering many of the US plays that took place
here.

A blog on the Voice of America website features the events by a specialist reporter who has been to Broadstairs during the festival. The town is bustling and the atmosphere is vibrant with thousands of people from the UK and abroad taking part in gigs, workshops and events.

One of the final events was a band of 100 ukelele players playing the same song whilst marching from Bleak House to the Bandstand at Victoria Gardens at 2.15 on the final Friday afternoon. This display from The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain is the final major concert on the final Friday.
