Home County Music and Art Festival is taking on another sunny Saturday in London with music workshops, performances, craft vendors and food in Victoria Park.

From noon until 11 p.m. festival-goers will have a chance to take in some great folk tunes from all over the country.

Brampton-based indie-soul and alt-folk songwriter Ahi—pronounced “eye”—will be taking the north concert stage at 3 p.m. and the new thrift-folk duo, Tragedy Ann, will perform on the emerging artist stage at 3:30 p.m.

Later in the evening, Stratford’s Rant Maggie Rant will play some Celtic-inspired tunes, mixed with cultural sounds from around the world before the headliner, Dione Taylor and The Backsliderz, performs on the main stage.

Saturday’s headliner, fronted by Dione Taylor, will bring some prairie blues to the festival at 10 p.m. Raised in Saskatchewan, Taylor has played for audiences across the world, including Queen Elizabeth II.

Stay tuned on twitter and Facebook for more updates.
