Changes

Entertainment

Sadly “Gerry Cottles Circus Fiesta” is unable to attend the event this year due to a clash of dates. A spokesman passed on their regrets at not being able to attend such an important date in the Nidderdale diary, but hoped they would be able to make it next year.

Of course the BBQ, the Bouncy Castle, the Ice Cream and not least (for the dads) the Beer Tent, where the regular Live Bands will be providing their usual entertaining performances throughout the afternoon. The live bands this year are as follows:

Ade Payne

Without doubt a talented singer songwriter and not one to 'put up and rest up, Ade is constantly delivering his very own brand of Americana/Roots/Country music.

As well as the catchy numbers that have his audiences tapping their feet, he has more recently achieved beautiful depth in harmonies & musical arrangements sung straight from the heart from his own personal experiences. Ade started writing and playing his songs from the age of around 12 years, appearing on the gig circuit at 17 years of age mainly singing his own originals and covers. However, he quickly realised that his own songs were being so well received that he sung them more and more. Now these days he just sings the songs he has written himself.

Regularly lining up with some of the finest musicians in his genre, Ade’s sound continues to evolve and we can expect more songs that will have you wanting more in the future.

The Hall Brothers with Sarah Carey

Yorkshire-born brothers Nick and Duncan Hall have played music together for as long as they can remember. They first performed as The Hall Brothers in 1991. Since then they have played concerts and festivals throughout the UK and in Ireland and Holland. They have supported acts as diverse as Fairport Convention and The Wedding Present with their unique brand of folk/rock

The Pete Oliver Band with vocalist Sharon Colgan.
