“We bought the King Billy Rock Bar in 2016 but we also do a lot of outdoor events. After a few chats we decided to launch it.

“We have a lot of local bands and obviously headline bands in the evening. Last year we had Girls School who have been playing for 50 years.

“Our intention is to build it into a large festival with some big names.”

This year’s event will be headlined by Foo Fighters tribute act Food Fighters on the opening night and Dirty jACkDC on the Sunday. Also playing on the Saturday will be Via Dolorosa, Empyre, Spreading The Disease, Over The Influence, White Coast Rebels, Jonny The Fox, Stormbringer and former Saxon members Graham Oliver and Steve Dawson.
