Retro Revolution

2011 Retro Revolution

July 15 – 17, 2011, the Home County Folk Festival presented its 38th festival in downtown London’s beautiful Victoria Park. This ‘admission by donation’ event featured 25 of Canada’s best roots, traditional and indie folk/pop acts.

The festivals theme was ‘Retro Revolution’, meant to celebrate our heritage in new contexts and honour folk traditions in a contemporary setting. We continued to bring attention to current trends in the Canadian indie/roots scene by showcasing established artists, and younger artists who have grown up influenced by Canadian folk icons and traditional genres such as blues, bluegrass, Celtic and country.
