We are honoured to have John Jones (Oysterband) and Steve Knightley (Show of Hands) as our festival patrons.
Our patrons play a valued role in the life of Shrewsbury Folk Festival, bringing a wealth of experience, knowledge and enthusiasm for the festival and the wider folk community. They are great advocates for what we do, helping to raise our profile, champion the festival and spread the word about everything that makes it special.
Just as importantly, they are trusted sounding boards for the team, offering advice, perspective and encouragement when we need it. Their support, insight and genuine belief in the festival are hugely appreciated, and we’re delighted to have them alongside us on this festival journey.
