The Ventnor Exchange is very excited to announce a special evening with Ray Foulk, who has always been a big inspiration for us. For a time, the Isle of Wight Festivals transformed our sleepy island into the the rock 'n' roll capital of the world.

From promoting a one-nighter in 1968, to raise funds for a swimming pool, the young Foulk brothers were able to out perform Woodstock, by signing the world exclusive appearence of rock's poet laureate, Bob Dylan.

As well as changing the lives of Ray and his brothers the phenomenon played its part in a highly transformative period for Bob Dylan, in which the Isle of Wight remained his one and only full concert appearance in seven and a half years.
