Warwick Folk Festival is one of the UK’s friendliest, most exciting, and best-loved folk festivals, and we’re thrilled to be live-streaming this year’s main stage performances.
This lively festival sees over five thousand visitors over the space of four days, but with Live to Your Living Room, you can enjoy the music from anywhere.
Sing along to a foot-stomping selection of some of the world’s best traditional and contemporary folk artists, direct from your living room, home office, or garden!
Finish out your festival with a chilled out evening of songs and tunes, topped off by a true master of the craft. Artist details below.
Martin Simpson
One of the finest folk singers, guitarists, and songwriters England has to offer, award-winning Martin Simpson’s music reflects a wide range of eclectic and international styles. He has worked alongside Nancy Kerr, Andy Cutting, June Tabor, Dom Flemons, and Wu Man.
What to expect: It’s always amazing watching Martin play guitar – his fingerstyle technique has to be seen to be believed! Combined with thoughtful lyrics and a stunning vocal delivery, this show is a must-watch for die-hard fans and newbies alike.

Sam Mabbett plays accordion very much in the Celtic style, concentrating on intricate melody lines over the more rhythmic pumping of many English players – At the Barrier
