After Sam’s rendition of Canadee-i-o attracted more than 120,000 views on YouTube, he was invited to perform alongside Nic at Sidmouth Folk Festival in 2010. It was Nic Jones’ first public performance in 28 years.

We think the audience said it better than we ever could… ❤️

Joe Broughton’s Folk Conservatoire brought an incredible afternoon of live music to Wolverhampton Arts Centre at the weekend, and judging by the lovely comments, it struck quite a chord.

Joyful, uplifting and absolutely packed with talent.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us, and of course to all the brilliant musicians who FILLED the venue with such fantastic music.

Thanks to Chris Close for footage 🎥
