Crowds flocked to a scaled-down Cambridge Folk Festival after a year’s break as it signed off with performances from “very proud” US singer/songwriter Suzanne Vega, and English folk legend Richard Thompson.
The festival also saw performances from punk/folk singer Frank Turner and singer/fiddler Seth Lakeman.
About 4,000 attended the council-run event, which usually has crowds of about 15,000-20,000 but was not staged last year due to financial losses.
As well as international stars, the festival saw performances from local acts such as Cambridge singer-songwriters Emily Fraser and Lara Gisborne.
Also performing at the festival at Cherry Hinton Hall were BBC 6 Music favourites Christina Alden and Alex Patterson — traditional folk singers and multi-instrumentalists from Norwich.
