Fiddlers Various: KentFolk Fiddle Festivals. The Fiddlers Various long-weekends have proved to be an excellent success. They are organised by live-music enthusiast Dr. Beau Webber, who has created the KentFolk.com website and is also chairman of the Littlebourne Barn committee. Fiddlers Various and related gigs consist of especially crafted fiddle-led events which, whenever possible, are staged in or around the wonderful Littlebourne Thatched Barn, near Canterbury, with lighting and quality sound to do them justice, and with space for all those who wish to come.
