Britain's number one country act The Shires will be joined on tomorrow's bill by the likes of indie legend Badly Drawn Boy, Brighton indie popsters Fickle Friends, Teeside's folk gems Cattle & Cane and York punks ... And The Hangnails.

Who is headlining Yorfest?
The Shires, who are one of the world's hottest country duos right now.
Signed to Decca Records, and powered by Crissie Rhodes' subtle and supple vocals and Ben Earle's complementary voice and acoustic guitar, The Shires have found a piece of country to call their own.
They love American music but are proudly British and intensely keen to add UK flavours to the pot on their albums Brave and My Universe.
