Ade will sing on the main stage at The Acoustic Festival of Britain 2008 at the request of the festival’s director, Mike Stephens. Ade, will line up with internationally renowned artists, who have influenced the music scene for the last 5 decades. These include Jethro Tull, Peter Tork (The Monkeys), Melanie, Martin Furey And The Celts, Midge Ure, Fairport Convention, Jah Wobble, Mike Peters, The Animals, Donovan, Marillion, Eric Faulkner, and Gordon Giltrap. The side stages will also host many other well-known names.
After a huge response to his music at the 2006 festival, Ade was invited back for 2007 but unfortunately the festival was cancelled due to appalling weather. Ade’s return in 2008 is confirmation of his commitment to the festival and his main stage appearence is the organiser’s recognition of his popularity and talent.
A weekend of music magic will reward the expected 20,000 attendees with an eclectic programme of unplugged and acoustic music from the genres of Folk, Roots, Celtic, Blues, Pop, Rock, Ska. To ensure they don’t miss a note, many fans will camp for the full weekend so side stalls with booze and food will ensure they are well fed and watered.
The Festival will be held over the May Bank Holiday weekend of Saturday 24th to Monday 26th May. Catton Hall, Catton, Walton-on-Trent, Derbyshire, DE12 8LN.
