“It’s absolutely brilliant……. he’s found his voice.” Bob Harris, Radio 2
COOPE, BOYES & SIMPSON
Quite simply the best purveyors of acappella song on these islands.
“When headliner Paul Carrack took to the main stage with his band, he rather sheepishly pointed out to the audience 'we're not actually a folk band', to which someone in the audience responded 'well this isn't actually a folk festival!' I have to agree, this annual festival has developed over the years into something else entirely, a festival with an eclectic agenda, mixing folk, blues, jazz, country, bluegrass, Americana and World Music with everything else in between. The programme is also peppered with lashings of poetry, comedy, literature events and a mini film festival. Something for just about everybody”
Allan Wilkinson, Northern Sky Music Magazine
"Beverley Festival is known for its innovative and eclectic mix that bring the most friendly and relaxed atmospheres to this historic, East Yorkshire town. An enchanting blend of dance, comedy, literature, poetry and of course music. To experience Beverley is to experience a creative festival of delight."
