Since this is a virtual festival, you never actually really miss an event entirely. While some of the concert material is only available for a specific length of time, we will keep at least sections of the work available through the end of July, and some will remain as a permanant part of the RootsWorld archive. Juke Box items will remain online through July, as well. You can also see the archive for the 1999 festival, and search all of RootsWorld in the search box below to discover a wealth of marvelous music and information from around the world.
