We are very proud to have John as the Patron of Chippenham Folk Festival. He has made a substantial contribution to folk music over several decades as an inspirational figure in all areas of the genre including song, dance and music. John has been a member of many of the most influential groups and dance teams on the scene, as well as performing solo at the very top level as a solo singer and musician. This year we welcome John with other members of his family as Kirkophany.
