Two evenings of real music washed down with some real ales or a glass of Pimms
Special music in a special venue!
Line-up
With headline spots from the iconic Chris Difford (of Squeeze), the fabulous Sam Kelly Trio and the Jaywalkers, EdleFest 2019 could turn out to be our best yet!
Sam's meandering musical journey has ranged from reaching the final of ITV's Britain's Got Talent as a teenager, to becoming one of the most prevalent folk singers of his generation. Whether playing to 13 million people on prime-time television, or to 10 people in a tiny pub, Sam's passion for discovering and rekindling the sounds of his musical heritage has gained him the respect of peers and audiences worldwide. "I think this guy is absolutely brilliant… His voice is beyond sublime." Mike Harding

As those who have been fortunate enough to catch them in full flight will testify, a Jaywalkers show is an exhilarating experience. UK-based they may be but many from the other side of the Atlantic have complimented them on their particularly stylish delivery of this virtuosic brand of Americana. These three outstanding musicians have developed a tight bond, demonstrated through their well-crafted, tasteful arrangements and ability to bounce ideas around the stage. The combination of powerhouse bass, flame-fingered mandolin, blistering fiddle and three-part harmony pack a punch as fiery as Jay’s lead vocals and make a fuller sound than expected from an acoustic trio.

Based out of Watford, UK, The Dicemen can safely claim to be one of the most popular folk/post-punk/indie acoustic trios in the Herts Beds Bucks area! They line-up with guitar, acoustic bass and either mandolin, bouzouki or - on a bad day - banjo, to play their own songs alongside some unlikely versions of others you may already know. "Wow thank you for the cover…..nice work" - Chris Difford (Squeeze) on the Dicemen's cover of Take Me I'm Yours

The church is now owned by the Churches Conservation Trust and managed by the 'Friends of the Church on the Hill, Edlesborough, part of the EDaN group. You can find out more about the church and its history here.
Visitors to the church should be aware that access is either by way of a series of steps or a steep winding path through the cemetery. On the festival weekend, via the bridle path, there is parking in the field to the rear of the churchyard. We hire portaloos for our festival events which are located at the bottom of the steep steps. It is also advisable to bring a torch to guide you down the hill at the end of the event!
