Folk in the Forest returns to The Sustainability Centre once more. A wonderful evening of foot stomping folk music with great beer and friends, all in our superb Woodland Hall. Our rustic round wood building is open to the forest and you will spend the evening listening to great live folk music, with local beer in hand surrounded by our forest.
The Music
Sophie Hodgson
The talented singer-songwriter Sophie Hodgson performs bluegrass, country, blues, pop and soul. Her original songs are reflections of her unfolding life experiences from archaeologist to wife and mother. She is heavily influenced by her folky roots, with her smooth and expressive vocals she might even throw in a cover from Bob Dylan! She also plays with Groovy Duvet and her own band Sophie and the Velvet Whiskers.
John Merriton Band
John Meriton is a versatile singer/songwriter, an observer of life, teller of stories, with an emotional mix of words, melodies and rhythms to excite the soul. My understanding of life, the spaces in which we live; real; people, real places, our shared experience.

Mary Jane
Headlining are Mary Jane, a folk rock band who play a highly original blend of acoustic and electric folk-rock. Their dynamic and exciting music is an irresistible combination of original songs and traditional tunes, arranged for a five piece band. Once seen they are simply unforgettable.
