Whilst it might be cliched to always go for this song, here at MGM Towers, who doesn’t love a bit of ‘Forever Young’ from Tyketto.

Preacher Stone are to us, completely new, so we had a little dig around and found this:

Maid of Stone also welcomes Canadian roots rockers The Commoners – currently appearing on Planet Rocks A List and often described as ‘the new Robert Jon and The Wreck’ we are expecting them to make a big splash at Mote Park.

Also performing across the weekend are highly regarded up-and-coming artists South of Salem, As December Falls and White Raven Down.
