Field Music on the bill at top family festival
after recently returning from a three-year hiatus.
Eoin added: “We’re so excited. We’ve just had this Grand Reopening theme [for the recent tour, where the band snipped an inaugural ribbon before launching into theirferociousset]andwe’redefinitelygoing to be inventing something really special for this occasion too.”
Drenge’s new single This Dance seems tailormadeforsuchafestivalatmosphere, as Eoin revealed it was written as a call to arms for listeners to lose themselves in the music: “There’s nothing like going to a party and ending up on the dance floor, belting out 80’s chart tunes as if you’re at the barrier at a Slayer concert.
“Your arms and legs colliding with friends, and with complete strangers. Dancing like nobody’s watching and hoping they don’t call the police – it’s all about that freedom.”
Pint-sized festival goers will also be well catered for with a host of entertainment for young audiences.
Spoken-word sensations Harry & Chris will perform their unique mix of comedy, melody and poetry, alongside the likes of Big Howard & Little Howard, The Kagools, Blue Planet III, plus much else from giant sea creature puppets and jugglers via murder mysteries and bedraggled mermaids.
Deer Shed Festival has recently begun to produce its own theatre, and this year Leeds-based Manic Chord Theatre have been commissioned to create a unique, immersive promenade theatre performance for the site’s woodland belt aka The Wilderwild, which also contains a green and traditional craft area.
Deer Shed Festival takes place at Baldersby Park, Topcliffe, North Yorkshire from July 20-22. Some tier three tickets are still available for the festival, from the website www. deershedfestival.com/tickets
