Special mention to – Steve Anning’s Overt Security, JPL Sound and Communication, and Ask Frank.
Thank you to all the brilliant bands – you rock in more ways than one!
And, last but not least, respect to those who have bought our Cadstock merchandise.
Give yourself a clap, take a bow all.
Cadstock’s stage is now all set.
Saturday kicks off with a grand opening by Barry Town Mayor Cllr Ian Johnson, followed by seven super bands – ending the evening with the superb Stonehouse.
Sunday sees the Tenovus Choir sing us into the sunshine followed by five fabulous bands -topped off with Tumbling Dice.
The full line-up is below:
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, what better way to enjoy the tunage than with some good old Cadstock Merch.
Catch yourself a brand new design, limited run, Cadstock Bucket Hat.
And why not pick up a top Tee to complement the perfect Festival goers gear too.
Designed by Barry artist, Maria Farmer, both will look superbly smart at our super saved by the bell free Music Festival.
Please wear the groovy garments to show your support.
Priced at just £8 for the hats, and £15 for the Tees, why not see part of the cost as an ‘entry fee.’
We will never charge for entry so just a thought?
All Cadstock Merchandise is ONLY available at: The Bapman Burger Van (in the car park of LBS Builders Merchants on Cardiff Road) between 9 and 1.30 Monday to Friday
Call 07708 685753 and reserve yours.
(Please don’t use the previous email address – Bapman only Cadstockers).
Then wear with pride as you listen to our line-up of brilliant bands to rock us through the wild and wonderful weekender.
So dust off your bucket hats, stockpile that Home Bargains sun burn saver, and keep that Cadstock Tee crisp – it’s going to be a goodie!
See you there!
Speak soon.
