Driftwood @ Herne Bay Fest

Driftwood played at the Herne Bay Festival today by the Rose Inn in the centre of town.

Audience got a little out of hand and eventually most of them joined us on stage for the last numbers....(a great improvement, IMHO Ed) 

Thank you to all who joined in and to Shorne Bedwell who jammed along on his African drum ... it kept Dave in time for once!

Thanks to the organisers and our marshalls for looking after us

Driftwood afloat!



Driftwood played on the most enjoyable and surreal gigs every - Afloat this time.

At the Bi-annual Hythe Venetian Fete on Weds 17th August. We were rowed (thank you Folkestone Rowing Club) up and down the Royal Military Canal in front of a few thousand people.

The first half was in the pouring rain and we had to improvise some acapella singing before could pull out the untuned instruments (well its folk!)

The pics are on Facebook and just wait for the roadie's video...

Driftwood @ Broadstairs Folk Week

Driftwood Folk Band decamped from Deal HQ to a camper van at the Broadstairs Folk Week campsite and not one incident of cabin fever!

 I fact it was a totally fav three days packed solid with performing and getting to other people's gigs.

We busked most of Monday and had gigs at the Bradshaw Mill on Tues and a packed finale at the Lord Nelson on the Weds.

Big thank you to Broadstairs Folk Week for inviting us . Hope to see you next year.
