SEMINAL UK folk-rock band Levellers, Mercury Prize-nominated singer-songwriter Nick Mulvey and Scottish indie-rock pioneers Teenage Fanclub will headline the thirteenth Moseley Folk Festival in Birmingham, running from August 31 to September 2.

The popular festival, set in the beautiful and unique setting of Moseley Park, will this year welcome progressive and glam rock legends Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel, English roots and folk duo Show of Hands, John Peel folk-rock favourite Bridget St John, Scottish singer-songwriter King Creosote, acclaimed new star This Is The Kit, festival friend and supporter Willy Mason and Algerian Tuareg ensemble Imarhan.

With an international reputation for presenting a healthy mix of traditional, contemporary and downright experimental folk and acoustic music, as well drawing from connecting genres, Moseley Folk Festival offers music fans the perfect end-of-summer experience complete with a great range of food, ales, ciders and traders.

“As music devotees, we're absolutely delighted to unveil this year’s Moseley Folk Festival line-up, complementing the line-ups for Mostly Jazz, Funk & Soul and Lunar Festival," said John Fell.

"We're lucky to have such a stunning site in Moseley Park to work with, as well as a wonderful audience each year.

"From Imarhan to Teenage Fanclub, Katharine Priddy to Martin Carthy and much, much more, the 2018 line-up really does have something for folk fans of all ages and interests."

Moseley Folk Festival is produced by the team behind Mostly Jazz, Funk & Soul Festival (in its eighth year) and Lunar Festival (returning for it’s fifth year).

Last year’s Moseley Folk Festival saw Laura Marling, Amy Macdonald and The Magic Numbers headline, with stars Jose Gonzalez and Kate Rusby also making an appearance on the bill.
