Cambridge Folk Festival were delighted to be given the opportunity to work with the Anglia Ruskin University L4 BA Illustration & Animation Course on developing a range of graphics to help support the promotion of the Cambridge Folk Festival.

Working on live briefs is so important for the students & gives real life experiences of working with real clients. Any local businesses, I highly recommend you contact ARU to see how you can help support the next generation.

A message from The Thorn! They’ll be taking to Stage 1 on the Sunday of Cambridge Folk Festival and we can’t wait 🎉

The Thorn (formerly Large Plants), are a musical group from London, England who play psych-tinged heavy folk-rock with nods to jazz and soul that wouldn’t sound out of place on a Numero compilation of lost early 70’s fuzz jams.
