WOOLF II – A TERRASCOPE CELEBRATION. Pretty much
everything you need to know.
What is it?
Six years on and Woolf Music is back…not so much a festival as a
gathering of friends and a celebration of cross-genre music
curated and hosted by the Terrascope (link).
When is it?
The weekend of 8th and 9th June 2019
Where is it?
The imposing manor house and grounds of Cleeve House in Wiltshire,
a rambling gothic pile with an historic association with the
Bloomsbury Set – hence the event name.

a long association with us, others of more recent acquaintance and
all of whom we have been privileged to champion and support.

Cynics, Divisionists, Thought Forms, Jim Ghedi, Toby Hay, the
Revolutionary Army Of The Infant Jesus, the Silver Stairs Of
Ketchikan, Sharron Kraus, Dean McPhee, Mesange, Rowan Amber Mill

bring boots to fill instead.
