MUSIC fans on the Costa del Sol will have the opportunity to enjoy the first ever English folk music festival in March.

The festival will be compered by Mike Harding, one of the best known folk music promoters, having hosted the BBC Folk programme for almost 20 years.

The line-up at the five day festival at the Hotel Alay in Benalmadena from March 14 – 19 will also include more than 20 of the top names in British folk music including Show of Hands, The Demon Barbers and Steamchicken.
