The 50th Anniversary of the now legendary Village Pump Festival, which was brought back to the UK festival circuit in 2018 by director Nicholas Reed, are down to their last 100 tickets; be as quick as a quick thing being quick….
Driven by the uk festival exclusive for the debut duo performance from long time British folk legends Maddy “Steeleye Span” Prior, who graced Trowbridge’s Village Pump venue in the early 70s, prior to any fame and fortune and jon “bellowhead” boden. This incredible partnership gets its first live performance at a venue that kick-started their early careers in what is such a significant moment in the festival’s history.
Also on the line up are the fast becoming deeply respected The Bar-Steward Sons of Val Doonican, in what is surely a festival headline debut! The Barnsley trio offer up their usual wit and humour, but with recent new addition Jamie Roberts, brother of the wonderful Katheryn Robert’s who will also be performing with her duo with her partner Sean Lakeman.
It’s a true folkers line up, which includes ‘Gilmore-Roberts’, ‘Sykes-martin’, ’Stonegallows’ and festival stalwart ‘Keith Christmas’. Ceilidh from ‘Spill the Whiskey’, and some world music from the Bath-based klezmer band ‘Ninotchka’ and ‘RSVP Bhangra’.
Unmissable highlights recommended by us at Devizine, and to interfere with an otherwise fine press release with our own opinion, (as we care to do!) would include Gaz Brookfield, Mr Tea & The Minions, Concrete Prairie, Be Like Will, Billy in the Lowground, Fly Yeti Fly, Devil’s Doorbell, The Lost Trades, Thieves, and of course, Ruby Darbyshire and Nothing Rhymes With Orange; this is stellar line-up of tried and tested local talent alongside the headliners.
Unlike other festivals, Trowbridge offers free camping with their weekend tickets. This offers unrivalled value for money and set in the beautiful Wiltshire countryside, basking in the shadow of Westbury White Horse.
Trowbridge Festival runs from 26th-28th July.
Those last few tickets are HERE, folks!
