STONE MUSIC FESTIVAL
Festival ’ s rip-roaring success
Another year and thanks in part to the glorious weather enjoyed , Stone ’ s 2013 Music and Arts Festival has been dubbed a rip-roaring success .
Following the event , now in its fifth year returning in 2012 after a short break , one of the organisers commented : “ It was a fabulous weekend which we hope everyone enjoyed as much as we did !
“ Thanks again must go to all the musicians and other artists who took part , to all our lovely sponsors , and to our fantastic band of volunteers . But mostly , our thanks to you , the people who make the whole thing worthwhile , and who gave so generously to keep it going .”
The week long music and arts festival , in conjuction with main sponsors Wedgwood , kicked off on Friday 5th July and culminated with the free two day festival on Saturday 13th and Sunday 14th in the High Street . This saw festival goers line the pavements to enjoy the entertainment which filled the summer air with a mixture of different musical sounds and genres throughout weekend which ended with a stunning headline set on Sunday from no other than The Christians .
Described as ‘ the Temptations in ripped jeans ’ thousands came out to enjoy the Liverpool band ’ s infectious melodies and warm harmonies which went down a storm with the Stone audience .
