Adrian
Edmondson & ‘The Bad Shepherds’ to headline Hachfest 2009
HACHFEST runs over 3 days with 2 stages of live music of all
genres, providing a great weekend of entertainment for all the family.
Showcasing local musicians and supporting local charities. (All profits go
to charity).
In 2009, the event kicks off with ‘Foot Stompin’ Friday’ – an
evening of folk & rock, with some of East Anglia’s best known bands,
including folk band ‘Murphy’s Lore’, Pogues tribute – ‘Waxie’s
Dargle’, and headlined by ‘The Bad Shepherds’ featuring Adrian
Edmondson.
Saturday is ‘Live, Local & Loud’ - A hard hitting day of rock and
pop acts of all ages, culminating in a double headline by local 60s
sensation ‘The Wild Oats’, and top tribute act – ‘Counterfeit
Quo’. Throughout the day there will be performances from Road to V
contenders ‘Underline The Sky’, local favourites ‘Umbrella
Assassins’, and new young bands ‘Walkway’ & ‘I Know Jack’.
Energetic original indie band ‘Jade’ & space rock band
‘Mohawk’ promise to have the crowd jumping.
Sunday is ‘Alternative’, with an eclectic mix of music and dance
including original acoustic pop from ‘The Caution Horses’, &
amazing jazz piano from ‘Judi Willson’. Feel good pop band ‘The
Marvelous’ (who have supported ‘Hard-Fi’, ‘The Bluetones’ &
‘The Dogs’), and local Brazilian act ‘Samboomba’, ensure the
weekend is rounded off with a bang!
As
well as the music, there will be plenty of activities off-stage for all
the family, including this year a circus skills workshop (Saturday), face
painting & many other stalls. Food & refreshments are provided on
site all weekend.
