Following them is local band “Earth Experiment”, a five-piece band playing original material with a heavy blues and soul driven groove, including their Hammond organ driven single People, due for release on AWAL in June.

Completing an impressive line-up is “Maxwell Hammer and Smith”, voted the UK’s no. 1 harmony band, playing songs from ELO to Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody.

Alongside the music, there will be a pig roast, barbecue, bouncy castle and a mouth-watering variety of guest beers. A purpose-built stage will ensure a bird’s eye view of the bands and marquees will provide shelter from rain and sun. Entry is free.
