'This will be our fourth appearance at Beverley Folk Festival, so perhaps we've earned the 'festival favourites' tag. We've played just about every slot there is, I think: the Friday night 'rock' set; the Saturday afternoon workshop; Beverley Minster (oh joy! we still dream about those acoustics); and the Saturday night stage. We've rehearsed a song on a patch of ground outside with Coope, Boyes and Simpson and a group of kids from a local school we ran some workshops with before performing with them; we've shared a stage with John Tams, Coope, Boyes and Simpson and the Staithes Fishermen's choir, and this year we get to play alongside the likes of Waterson Carthy and Martin Simpson and Andy Cutting. And so far, the weather's always been fantastic! We're honoured to appear at the Festival again this year.' Jude Abbott, Chumbawamba
