WIRRAL FAMILY FESTIVAL
Martyn Best , our inside man at Tranmere Rovers Football Club , reveals news of an exciting music and family festival to place at Prenton Park later this year .
What epitomises two of our great passions ? Obviously , it is THREE LIONS sung by Baddiel and Skinner ably supported by the Lightning Seeds which so captures our love of football and music , all wrapped up in eternal hope .
Tranmere Rovers have had music concerts at the ground over the past few years , and who can forget Madness in 2017 , with Jeremy Corbin at the Libertines concert , and the great teenage joy of Little Mix .
The Club has now announced that they will host the Wirral Family Festival on 11th May and their collaboration with Monopoly Events who will help deliver this spectacle .
This will be a day , held after the season ends , with the enticing hope of promotion having been achieved , under the beautiful late Spring sky of a sunny May afternoon .
It will be a day of music , fun and mirth to appeal to all ages . Monopoly has a solid history of hosting many successful events across the UK , with their amazing Comic Con exhibitions through to events as popular as the Macclesfield Music Festival .
The Wirral Family Festival will have a range of the UK ’ s leading tribute bands , from the themes of Queen , the Killers , Arctic Monkeys , Oasis , rock , pop , indie , and for example , Blah de Blah an up-and-coming Ska band , who will make you believe Madness had returned to the Wirral .
The day will be complimented by a dance festival with well-known local DJ ’ s , a fairground , a vast array of kids ’ activities ( the adults need to enjoy the music ) featuring super hero shows , princess shows , dinosaurs , pony rides , inflatables , zorbing , magic shows , dance shows , talent shows , costume groups including Disney , Star Wars and Transformers characters , facepainting , glitter tattoos , stilt walkers , magicians , pirate shows , toy stalls and a giant funfair packed with rides .
Nicola Palios , Tranmere Rovers ’ Vice Chair enthused about the event , “ We clearly put our efforts into the football side , but have always said we are Wirral ’ s Family Club , and we hope our fans , and the wider Wirral community will really enjoy the Wirral Festival .
“ We ’ re very excited at teaming up with Monopoly , who have a great track record at delivering captivating events .”
I ’ m also pleased to announce that my very good friends at Wirral Life have been appointed as the Official Media Partner of the Wirral Family Festival . Clearly , they love music - and if you are not sure about that last statement , please look at the front cover , and also the front cover of the last thousand editions .
As our Editors , Si , and Nicky , shared with me , “ Music runs through our blood , and is the driving force of the magazine . We were thrilled when invited to be the Media Partner for the Wirral Family Festival , and we are so looking forward to what will be a wonderful spring day on the Wirral .
“ We have negotiated 5 pairs of tickets for our readers and competition details will be in the next issue .”
