Festival history

The venue for the first edition of the festival was on the ground floor of Bongate Mill,[3] where Neil Ferber lived, with a concert by the Stan Tracey Quartet. The second edition was again at Bongate Mill in May 1990, with performances by Don Weller and Bryan Spring. Due to some licensing difficulties, the venue for the following festival moved to the Appleby Castle. with a performance of the Stan Tracey Octet.[4]

Due to the increasing number of visitors, in the following years the festival venue was along the banks of the Eden river, using the redundant church of St. Michael[5] for smaller concerts recorded in the Free Zone Appleby series.[6] The main genre was free improvisation, with musicians such as Alan Barnes, David Newton, Stan Tracey, Peter King, and Evan Parker.[7]
