We are pleased to announce our band line up for 2008. On Thursday night we welcome back old favourites the ‘Old Thumper’ Jazz Bands, along with the Jive Aces, a firm favourite returning from last year.

You may recognise Friday’s line up. It is the Dave Shepherd Dixielanders and the Dr Teeth Big Band, the same line up as was washed out last year. We’ve got them back so hopefully the sun will shine on us and you can come along and hear these two brilliant bands this year instead.

We have some new sounds on Saturday night welcoming the T J Johnson Band and the Slammers Maximum Jive Band which should provide some cool jazz and energetic beats for a perfect Saturday evening out.

Not only that with a full range of beers and wines and prices frozen at the same level as last year the 2008 festival line up looks like it will be a summer hit.

Tickets go on sale on June 8th from our outlets, from our telephone hotline and from this website.

We look forward to welcoming you all at this year’s festival.
