Cockermouth Rock Festival
21st July 2007 -12.00 Noon until 12.00 midnight
This year’s Cockermouth Rock Festival will be on the 21st JULY ’07 12.00 Noon until 12.00 Midnight and will be bigger and better with more bands and entertainment for the whole family. There will be two main stages as well as the new addition ‘New Bands/Acoustic’ Tent. A well stocked beer tent will also be on site together with professional BBQ. There are also activities for the entire family including a Bouncy Castle, Rodeo Bull, Gladiator Duals and more! Camping is also an option this year with no charge
Cockermouth Rock Festival is a non profit festival set up to help raise money for two great local causes, the Great North Air Ambulance and Cockermouth Mountain Rescue as well as to encourage and promote local bands and musicians. The festival which is held at Wellington Farm,Cockermouth is now in it’s third year. Last years festival proved to be a great success with approx. 1000 people in attendance.
The idea for a rock festival came in 2004 when a friend Cameron Wood had a cycling accident whilst riding locally. Cameron required immediate medical attention, as he had in fact severely damaged his spine. Help came in the form of The Great North Air Ambulance, something that is often taken for granted. It was decided that action was needed, to help raise money for this vital service as well as helping the local Cockermouth Mountain Rescue and concert would be an excellent of fulfilling this target.
An exciting addition to this year’s festival is NECK- ‘The London-Irish Psycho-Ceilidth band’ who are
headlining the festival. The 6 piece band play many festivals nationwide and are a superb live act.
Playing along side NECK there is also a wealth of local talent including THE BULLFROGS, THE
NATURALZ, SKUNK, AWOL, SOUTH QUAY (winners of The Maryport Blues Festival Battle of The
Bands ‘07) SIOUX NATION, 7TH WAVE, THE MARRATIMES and UNDER THE INFLUENCE many more, together with a selection of the area’s newest musical talent.
The launch date for tickets will be the 16th April, Adults tickets are £10.00 each, Under 14’s tickets are £5.00 each and Under 5’s are free. Tickets will be available from Hunters Bar, Cockermouth, Billy Bowman’s Music Shop, Wellington Jerseys Ice Cream as well as the Ticket Hotline on 01900 826565 (Hunters) and online at www.cockermouthrockfestival.com .
We are looking for volunteer stewards for this years festival, if you would like to take part, please e-mail us at mail@cockermouthrockfestival.com (Food & Drink provided)
