Introducing… 3 Daft Monkeys🥁

Over the coming weeks we’ll be reintroducing our artists for this year's festival and we’re starting with the Cornwall acoustic band that is 3 Daft Monkeys. Seamlessly blending folk music traditions with an infectious energy we cannot wait to welcome them to the Arboretum this August. Having graced stages alongside the iconic Levellers band, and being firm Glastonbury Festival favourites, we know they are perfect for the Foolhardy Folk Festival bill!

Go give these guys a listen and get ready to enjoy them live!
