As if that wasn’t enough, in the evening we’ll also be treated to some wonderful music from ‘The Black Cat String Band’, a group of market gardeners, horse whisperers, off-gridders and land workers playing up beat, danceable Appalachian folk. These multi instrumentalists will be bringing their bright combinations of mandolin, concertina, double bass, violin, guitar, voice and more and are certain to have you up and dancing!
Come and join us around the campfire for a truly memorable Beltane!
