Limestone Music Festival

Cold Gin, The Sons of El Roacho, Monkey’s Uncles, Shanks’ Pony, Stace Rose (Cycle Paths), JATO, and Haworth gave their time for free to entertain a welcoming crowd and to raise funds for Elmton and Creswell Village Company, the charity based at

Limestone House working for the regeneration of this former mining locality. The bands were totally brilliant.

Thanks also to Rob Beech for doing the sound, to the many volunteers from Limestone House for their help during the evening by taking entry tickets, serving food and selling T-shirts. Pat, Sarah and the rest of the staff from the Social Centre did a great job serving the drinks and thank you to the Elmton with Creswell Parish Council for housing the Music Festival to support this charity event.
