GRETTON MUSIC FESTIVAL 2014 IS A HUGE SUCCESS!

Well, they certainly know how to throw a party in Gretton!

The fifth annual Gretton Music Festival - which took place over the August Bank Holiday weekend - was a huge success, with packed-out venues and sold-out gigs every night.

Over £1000 was raised for The Travers Foundation - a local charity which supports young athletes and those in the performing arts.

The music festival offered a varied programme, ranging from singer/songwriter Stevie Jones and The Wildfires, to fantastic rock covers  band Point Blank and the amazing Jive Honey who had everyone in the Village Hall on their feet dancing the night away to their top soul & R&B.

On Saturday afternoon the crowd was treated to a trio of talented teens, when the Youth BUSkers took to the stage on Brian Fursdon's Bus Bonanza featuring the Corby Radio bus.  Next stop for them is perhaps The X Factor or The Voice, but remember you saw them first in Gretton!

All this, and Fabulous French, The Market Harborough Ukulele Group, Millstone Grit, Eclipse Performing Arts, Nick Pynn and Kate Daisy Grant, and the fabulous Open Mic sessions showcasing local talent - there really was something for everyone.

Northamptonshire's largest community-based music festival's overall sponsor was Seaton's Solicitors.  The organizers would like to thank everyone who helped to make it the best festival yet - we're looking forward to next year's already!
