Locatated in the extensive grounds of the The Hollybush Inn, Shortfield Common Road, Frensham, nr Farnham, Surrey, GU10 3BJ Featuring: DOCTOR FEELGOOD THE WILDCARDS MIKE SANCHEZ FREEWAY JAM JACKIE LYNTON and many more! A NEW DAY are delighted to be involved again in WEYFEST 2005. We know nowt about the logistics of these things, and indeed my brother once famously actually failed to organise a piss-up in a brewery (true!) so our involvement has wisely been restricted solely to organising THE MUSIC. And that is something we DO know about. Oh what a line-up we have for you guys!! There has been a music festival in or around Farnham for the last 15 years, but it was only last year that a genius came up with the name Weyfest and the whole event took on new meaning! Weyfest is a blues/rock/folk festival which aims to raise money for charity. This year our charity is Lord Mayor Treloar's. Please see the WEYFEST website (imminent) for details of what they do. Saturday (1pm-11pm) Ciao Buddha A powerful London based 3 piece playing their own eclectic brand of folk tinged progressive rock. Flies of San Quentin Another new band from London causing quite a stir on the circuit. All original material and a sound all of their own. Juice Newly formed from 'the ashes' of local favourites and long time supporters of the festival The Gerbs. 4Play Colin webb, ex of The Gerbs with his new band.

Real good-time music and marvellous entertainment! Back To The Roots magazine, Belgium It's Early days, but I'd take money we'll not see a better band this year. The Running Horse, UK If ever a British band was equipped to conquer all, surely it must be The Wildcards. The coming together of two of The Nightporters and two of Vince Lee's Big Combo has created a quartet who have it all, great musicianship and a passion for their kind of music - great swinging blues played with real feeling! Dragon Blues Festival, UK They are already streets ahead of the competition and have the makings of a truly great band, combining astonishing assurance with the restless quest for new musical possibilities, which will give any audience goose bumps Blues In Britain Magazine, UK Fabulastic! This is even greater then I expected. High energy, rollin' rockin' blues. Triple R Blues & Roots Radio, Holland Impressive right from the start. A more than superb headliner for the Friday evening Moulin Blues Festival, Ospel, Holland Their different takes on blues, swing and rockabilly has the kind of pedigree that dwarfs many of their worldwide contemporaries and reveals a professionalism that should see them take the global blues scene by storm Twenty4Seven magazine, UK Doctor Feelgood The champions of the 70's rebirth of British r'n'b, despite numerous line-up changes these legends of rock and blues are still going strong and we are delighted to be able to close our saturday with such a treat.

The Charity We apologise if you know us well already but if not - The Treloar Trust is a charity that runs a School and College for over 320 physically disabled young people. These young people are given every opportunity to succeed at Treloar's. We focus on education and independence, striving to give the young people the very best quality of life possible. Not only do we offer a sound education, physiotherapy, medical care and rehabilitation equipment, our independence training is amongst the best available anywhere so our young people have the best chance to go on to an independent life. Although based wholly in Hampshire Treloar's is a national charity and we take our young people from all over the UK. Like many other charities the eternal challenge is raising the funds to maintain the marvellous standards we have achieved and to continue the vital work, possibly expanding over time to help all the others who may need our help in the future. Through events like this, we are able to work towards this goal. # 0 Weyfest Arrives |
