Retro Proms and Folk on Foot

Late to the game, but BBC 3 is making up for the cancellation of Proms 2020 by trotting out some pretty great archival material, and archiving it for a month. You can feast away right here.

The Folk-on-Foot Festival 3 is up on Monday, August 31. The first two iterations had mostly solo artists or those co-habiting in lockdown. This version they get to meet up with bandmates and make some noise at the requisite 2 meters. Start time 2pm BST, or whatever that translates to where you're at. Lineup and other details here, as well as a link to their fundraising -- like the others, this is a 50/50 fundraiser, with half going to participating artists and the other half going to the UK charity Help Musicians.
