Exclusive Festival news Beverley Festival 2012

Chumbawamba & Peatbog Faeries

We are pleased to officially announce that festival favourites Chumbawamba and Peatbog Faeries will be returning to Beverley next year.

Chumbawamba are a legendary act! Comprising five harmony voices, guitars, brass and accordion and performing a mix of traditional English folk, a-cappella song and skewed pop; from great tales of historical rebellion to cutting contemporary satire. Their knack of surviving the great and powerful leaders they rally and sing against is coupled with their love of new and changing music.

Peatbog Faeries are based on the Isle of Skye and have been described as ‘the future of celtic dance music’. They incorporate many influences which take them from traditional jigs and reels through jazz, hip hop, reggae and more. Playing high octane Celtic dance music, BE PREPARED TO DANCE!

Tickets for this event will be available in December.
