The story

Moseley Folk Festival in Birmingham

An independent folk and arts festival held at Moseley Park in Birmingham each late summer since its founding in 2006. Renamed Moseley Folk and Arts Festival in 2019 to reflect an expanded comedy and spoken word programme, it has grown from a two-day event into a three-day festival now well into its second decade.

Moseley Folk Festival began in 2006 as a two-day event held at Moseley Park in the Birmingham suburb of Moseley, on a site that had previously hosted an outdoor gypsy jazz event called L'Esprit Manouche, co-founded by Gerv Havill among others.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Broadcaster Janice Long served as the festival's compere from its very first edition in 2006 until her death in 2021, giving the event a consistent on-stage presence across roughly fifteen years of its history unusual among independent regional festivals

02

The mystery stays covered

Its 2019 rebranding to Moseley Folk and Arts Festival, adding comedy, spoken word and talks alongside its founding folk music line-up, reflects a deliberate broadening of identity while retaining its original musical focus rather than abandoning it entirely
