CATCH UP WITH PVFF20 ONLINE

We hosted PVFF20 Online on Facebook and on that platform everyone’s been using called ‘Zoom’ on our regular festival dates (21 – 23 Aug) instead of our actual festival (due to the ongoing global pandemic).

We had a lovely time – it was great to see some regular PVFF faces and meet some new ones too! Some of our events are still available to view and they’re linked down below.

FRIDAY 21ST AUGUST

Zoom Sing-around

Catherine Burke led a Zoom Sing-around to kick off the Purbeck Valley Folk Festival 2020 Online festival. Featuring songs by: Catherine Burke, Krista Green, Jonny Phillips, Paul & Sheila Burke, Half a Murphys, and Jon & Siriol.

Ian Prowse’s Amsterdam (LIVE)

SATURDAY 22ND AUGUST

Yoga with Morag

Morag led us through some PVFF yoga on Saturday morning as part of Purbeck Valley Folk Festival 2020 Online.

Purbeck Rising Final Showcase

On Saturday we brought you sets from our 3 finalists: Lucy Mayhew, Good Habits & Lizzy Hardingham. We were also joined by Ben Morgan-Brown (last years Purbeck Rising winner). At the end of the video we announce the Purbeck Rising 2020 Winner! You can watch it here.
