Hanging out at the Beverley Folk Festival in June is my favourite way to kick off the UK's summer festival season. The spirit and vibe is really infectious – family friendly, fun and easygoing, with some great headline acts and all sorts of stuff going on day and night.

Check out all the best of summer 2017 action in the video – I hope it gives a real flavour of what to expect if you make it to this gorgeous corner of East Yorkshire for #BevFest.

Best act for me in 2017 was thrilling New-Folk superband Lau, the guys at the end of the video – more information at http://www.lau-music.co.uk/

2018 festival dates are 15–17 June – details at http://www.beverleyfestival.com

Thanks to Beverley Folk Festival for arranging a great weekend – see you all again next year!
