Programme-Folk Stage 2014

FOLK STAGE under the Plane Tree, 9.07-12.07, 17.30, location 58

Folk Stage will be hosted by Slot Folk Orchestra led by Bartosz Bobeł (collaborating among others with Tierra, Hoverla, Alegria, CLAY, Sierra Manta, Czwarty Wymiar, Dj Jassovah, Martijn Krale (Frühstück), Piotr Płecha, Rafał Rudawski) and Friends. Members of the group have been meeting at musical feasts in festival?s Cafe Kiwi, where they have been bringing their instruments, passions and joy of being able to share them. This passion and joy has borne fruit! Since the Folk Stage can be called ?the youngest child? of SAF, let?s come, let?s look after and let?s be ready to have fun together! Due to courtesy of ?Szczypta Świata? shop (szczyptaswiata.pl) there will be contests with ethno-prizes held daily.
Every day we will travel to different part of the world, so there waits for us:
