The NAFF is for everybody who, for whatever reason, doesn't want to (or like me can't) go to the National Folk Festival, as well as being for bands/performers etc. who, for whatever reason, didn't get accepted to, or didn't want to, play at the National Folk Festival. 'Folk' bands are not excluded. The NAFF also refers to the Anti-Folk Movement (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-folk) but has no actual connection to it.

Programming will run from 9am-midnight each day. Every band/performer that applies will get to play whilesoever a space remains. Expressions of interest should include a description of the act/show, times of availability, and a suggestion of what sort of financial remuneration would be acceptable.
