Help
Bardsly shows you an up-to-date view of your favourite folk festival, and helps you put together an itinerary so you don't miss a musical moment. Choose from the menu:
Shows
Choose the Shows page to see the whole festival timetable. Scroll up, down, left and right to take in the whole picture. Tap an individual show to see the artists and a map to the venue. If you want to know more about an individual artist, you can tap their icon. If a show looks like a good time, tap the star to add it to your personal timetable.
On the Shows page, the toggle button half-hides the shows you haven't liked or starred. Sometimes, shows might be visible even if you don't star them -- that's because they include an artist you've liked! Check them out to make sure you're not missing a gig.
Artists
Choose the Artists page to see all the artists performaing at this festival. Tap on the artist's image to see full details, including social media and websites. Take a stroll through their videos and music clips to get a good preview of their sound. If you like them, tap the heart icon: Bardsly will remember which artists you like.
On the Artists page, the toggle button at the top right of the screen will limit your list to just the artists you have Liked.
My Timetable
Generate and download a timetable of all the shows you have Starred. If there's a clash, go back and make the choice. You can generate the timetable as often as you like.
The cunning trick is to first Like the artists that interest you, then use the toggle switch on the Shows page to see what shows they're in, and Star the ones you want to see. Generate timetables until you've fixed all the clashes to your satisfaction, and print or save the final timetable.

Install Bardsly to your device
Save Bardsly to your phone screen so you can use it like an app. When you open the Bardsly website for your favourite festival in your phone's web browser, you will see an Install button. Tap that and it will add an icon to your home screen. The app will work with limited internet connectivity, like you often find at folk festivals!
If you don't see the button, you may be using Firefox instead of a Chrome-based browser. Regrettably, Firefox doesn't support this feature yet (they're working on it). You will need to open it in a Chrome-based browser like Google Chrome, Safari or Android Internet. Sorry about that!
