FOLK music fans can make up for the disappointment of the Wessex Folk Festival being cancelled for the second year in a row.
Folk-Americana act Roswell will share a bill with The Last Inklings at a performance on August 6 at Osmington Village Hall to raise much-needed funds for next year's Wessex Folk Festival.
Roswell is made up of Zoё Wren and Jasmine Watkiss, a folk-Americana duo from London, who have been likened to First Aid Kit and the Indigo Girls.

Eileen Bramley, the chair of the festival’s organising committee, said: "We were very much looking forward to seeing them at Wessex Folk Festival 2021 before it was sadly cancelled.
"So it will be lovely to have them in Osmington."
The Last Inklings members are Leonardo MacKenzie and David Hoyland, accomplished multi-instrumentalists whose innovative sound, centred on cello, mandolin and vocal harmony, crosses genres.
Tickets for the event cost £12 and information on how to book can be found on the Wessex Folk Festival.
