7 June 2012 – Parsonage Farm, Watchet. 

WATCHET LIVE FESTIVAL, West Somerset’s largest outdoor music event, have revealed four more major additions to this year’s line up. 

The Cheeky Girls are one of the most recognisable girl duos in pop, and will be bringing their catalogue of cheeky hits to the main stage on Saturday. They will be followed by Bristol’s finest 8-headed ska, hiphop, dub monster, Babyhead, one of the Westcountry’s most popular live bands.

The Popes are a tour-de-force of the London-Irish folk rock scene. Formerly the band for Shane McGowan, they have a reputation as one of the most energetic live bands in the business and are the perfect act to close the festival main stage on Sunday night. 

Multimillion-selling British Soul legends The Real Thing are as the final headliner to be revealed. The three original singers, joined by a 5-piece band, will turn Friday night into Party night, performing their Number One hit singles including "You To Me Are Everything", "Can't Get By Without You", and “Feel The Force” alongside a medley of other Seventies classics. 

The recently announced acts join a Watchet LIVE Festival line up that already includes The Blockheads, Mad Dog Mcrea; The Wurzels; N.U.M.B; Miles Hunt & Erica Nockalls (from The Wonder Stuff); Tom Hingley & The Lovers, Dan Donnelly, Ferocious Dog and over 50 others.

Three live stages, including Glastonbury’s famous Croissant Neuf solar powered venue will host over than 50 live acts, bringing a wide range of high-calibre musical acts not normally found performing in West Somerset, at a very affordable price.
