You've all waited very patiently, and now here's the line-up for MFAB2009 (all subject to contract and change of course). We're excited by it, and we're sure you will be too!

FRIDAY: Mark Radcliffe and the Family Mahone, supported by Stan's Magic Foot.

SATURDAY: Afternoon - Blue Murder (Norma & Mike Waterson, Martin Carthy, Coope, Boyes & Simpson + a special guest) supported by Ashley Hutchings' Rainbow Chasers and Gina Le Faux. Evening - Ade Edmondson & the Bad Shepherds, supported by Cave and Ella Edmondson. Also the Ceilidh with All Blacked Up.

SUNDAY: Afternoon - Thea Gilmore, supported by Rachel Harrington and Andrea Glass. Evening - Jim Moray, supported by Isambarde and Zoox.

Credit Crunch-Beating Weekend tickets (held at last year's prices) plus Saturday and Sunday day tickets will be on sale in the coming week - either through the downloadable Booking Form or by PayPal. Individual concert tickets will not be on sale until May 1st, but as always you'll get a better deal buying day or weekend tickets. So buy them as soon as you can, and we'll see you at the Festival.
