This is where it all began.... back in the mists of time, musicians got together in alehouses, kitchens, living rooms, mud huts or whatever for the sheer joy of making music together. Thus Folk Music was born. This of course still happens...
There are 6 prime session spots at BunkFest - The Cross Keys, The Coach & Horses, the Wallingford Sports Park Bar, the Singing Train, just for Friday afternoon and Sunday evening the Coachmakers Arms and, new for 2011, The Comrades Club.
