Martin Carthy MBE who will be performing with his daughter Eliza commented, "I certainly believe that Scarborough Fair will not mirror its namesake in song whose central notion deals in riddles and impossible tasks,” the man who inspired names such as Bob Dylan and Paul Simon continued, “it will prove instead to be a powerful addition to the arts in Scarborough."
In addition, BBC regular Edith Bowman will be hosting Michael Fassbender’s DMC film site. The Yorkshire based festival will be taking place on May 27–29 2016 overlooking Cayton Bay in Scarborough and set amongst stunning views of the coastline at Redcliffe Farm. Scarborough Fair will kick off the UK summer festival season with 5 stages of music which is sure to be an event with an eclectic mix of pop, folk, funk, jazz and dance music.
The cultural melting pot festival is the brainchild of Levack, who was previously on the management team of Glastonbury Festival, and has and overseen Port Eliot festival and a number of pop-up galleries in London and across the UK.
“In 1998 I put on a mini-festival on a friend’s family farm for my 18th birthday. Since then I’ve wanted to bring a boutique festival to Yorkshire which marries art, through its very own art gallery, and great music like nowhere else. Eighteen years later we’re going to do just that and put Scarborough on the festival map,” said Levack.
