It was the eighth annual Day of Lincolnshire Folk Music, Dance and Song, with a wide variety of performances taking place at The George and other locations in the village.

The event was organised by 600 Whiskies Unplugged – a folk club named after the huge variety of whskies on sale at the George.

This year’s event saw a new location in Leadenham involved, with a special stage at the tea rooms where the audience could watch acts and enjoy a cuppa with performers.

“We had three stages altogether, “ added Mr Willgoose. “We had a huge variety of acts from all over Lincolnshire, all contributing to a marvellous day.”
