Who will be your Discovery of this year’s Beggars Fair?

Every year the Beggars Fair features many musicians that are totally new to the festival. They have never been invited before by the Beggars Fair team nor booked by any venue directly. We’ve chosen them because we think they’re just fab, but we’d like to know what you think.

When Beggars Fair is over you’ll be able to tell us which is your Beggars Fair Discovery of 2021 with an on-line Vote on this page. You will be able to tell us the newcomer act that impressed you most, and tell us why. The winning act’s prize is a guaranteed slot on the Cornmarket Main Stage next year.
