ONE name is missing from this year's Stroud Folk Festival programme.

Maybe it's yours.

Festival organisers are looking for a Gloucestershire based band or solo artist to fill the last place in their itinerary for September 21 Could you take the prestigious opening slot for the headline act of the evening, Spiers and Boden?
