The Proclaimers, Richard Thompson, Beth Orton and Big Country are among the acts set to headline this year's Towersey Festival.  Joining them at one of the UK’s longest running festivals are Fishermen’s Friends, The Sharon Shannon Band and Daphne’s Flight.

They’ll be playing alongside 10 times winners of the National Brass Band Champions of Great Britain, the Brighouse and Rastrick Band; rising Americana/ roots trio Wildwood Kin; a collaboration between Peter Knight (Steeleye Span) and John Spiers (Bellowhead); and Whetstone Brinsford Kirkpatrick, recreating Dave Whetstone’s landmark mid-90s folk album The Resolution for an exclusive Towersey appearance.

Towersey Festival Director Joe Heap said:

"We’ve got a great mix of big names making their Towersey debuts this year as well as some real returning favourites, such as Richard Thompson. We’re especially pleased to welcome The Proclaimers for the first time - they always put on a great show and have so many fabulous songs.””

But as Joe states, one final piece of the jigsaw puzzle is yet to be revealed:

“There is one more incredible headline act to announce for August Bank Holiday Monday. We've just confirmed and will be announcing officially very soon – so keep an eye out for some exciting news …

Towersey Festival takes place from Friday 24th - Monday 27th August at Tame Showground, in the beautiful Oxfordshire countryside. The festival offers four days and nights of the best Acoustic, Folk, Blues, World and Americana, with first class stages, and  massive family appeal.

As you would expect from an event with such longevity, Towersey know what their audience expect so in addition to a great music line up you can enjoy dance, theatre, arts, crafts, literature, workshops, exhibitions, countryside walks, a celebration, a gathering of friends, family and neighbours to meet others and relax, eat, drink and party in common and friendly atmosphere.
