SHOW organisers are aiming for another bumper year of music as the Bielby Festival goes through its final preparations.

The Bielby Music Festival; The Picnic, begins at 3pm on Sunday, August 24, with hundreds of visitors expected to break last year’s record audience of 350 music-lovers.

Favourites including the Barton Town Band and the Vintage Belles from Darlington will open the Mill Lane show.

It will also feature performances from Root 64, Work in Progress, Lucky 13 and Pink Cadillac, Bielby’s own pop band.

Tickets cost £10 for adults and £5 for children, and can be bought on 01759 318314 or 318328.
