Cambridge Folk Festival : ウィキペディア英語版 | Cambridge Folk Festival The Cambridge Folk Festival is an annual music festival held on the site of Cherry Hinton Hall in Cherry Hinton, one of the villages subsumed by the city of Cambridge, England. The festival is renowned for its eclectic mix of music and a wide definition of what might be considered folk. It occurs over a long weekend (3½ days) in summer at Cherry Hinton Hall. Until 2008 it was sponsored by BBC Radio 2, who broadcast it live and highlights were recorded and shown later and occasionally live on digital television channel BBC Four from 2002-2009 and from 2010-2012 on Sky Arts. == History == In autumn 1964 Cambridge City Council, decided to hold a music festival the next summer and asked Ken Woollard, a local firefighter and socialist political activist,〔(History ), Cambridge Folk Festival official site. Accessed 24 March 2009.〕 to help organise it.〔 Woollard had been inspired by a documentary, Jazz On A Summer's Day, about the 1958 Newport Jazz Festival. The first Festival sold 1400 tickets and almost broke even. Squeezed in as a late addition to the bill was a young Paul Simon who had just released ''I Am A Rock''. The festival's popularity quickly grew. Woollard continued as Festival organiser and artistic director up until his death in 1993. In 2014 the festival celebrated its 50th event, including artists such as Van Morrison and Sinead O'Connor.〔http://www.cambridgefolkfestival.co.uk/artists/main-stages/〕 It is now run by Cambridge City Council Arts & Recreation's Eddie Barcan, together with over two hundred event staff.〔
