Some of the most popular and successful bands in the region have received the backing of Peasedown St John Parish Council.
Last Tuesday night, the council agreed to sponsor the Main Stage at this year’s Party in the Park festival, adding its name to a long list of other organisations that are sponsoring the event in a variety of ways.
Jo Davis, the festival’s entertainment manager, welcomed the news: “To have our local Parish Council supporting Peasedown’s biggest event is fantastic news. Especially as they have agreed to sponsor the Main Stage, which is going to be busier than ever with fantastic music and dance performances. The talent we have performing this year is second to none and there’s something for everyone.
“We’re expecting over 2,500 people to come along on June 11th. We have a full line up of live music with the Bath Spa Band, The Blues Others, Phoenix Club, Train to Skaville and DJ Pete Bailey, as well as fantastic demonstrations in front of the stage from Bath All Starz, Susan Hill School of Dance and Step EadeZ Dance.”
Event Secretary, Jeannie Crawford, added: “This year’s sponsors are the St J’s Group, Bath Audi, Michael Gould Estate Agent, G & S Steeplejacks, The Midsomer Norton Lions Club, and Care South. As well as seven hours of live music and entertainment, the event also features the ‘Grant Giveaway Extravaganza’, the Sara Holley Community Award, the Great Village Bake Off and Somer Valley FM broadcasting live with host, Pete Helmore.”
