Welcome to Party in the Park 2010 **Saturday July 10th 2010** Bands and promoters please note we have a full line up for this year and are now closed for submissions - PLEASE do not send any further submissions to us. Another year and another great line-up - eight bands to surprise and delight you. Plus the usual great value, good quality hot and cold food, bar and kid's tent. And not forgetting the relaxed and friendly atmosphere that Galhampton is so well known for. We have sold out for the last few years so make sure you get your ticket in time - watch out here for more details. Already confirmed for 2010 are the excellent Adrian Edmondson and The Bad Shepherds. A bunch of talented musicians they play punk songs on folk instruments, as well as other songs from that era including ones from the likes of Kraftwerk and Talking Heads. They have been receiving rave reviews throughout 2009 - BBC Oxford said of their performance at Cropredy: "Playing well known punk tunes on folk instruments may read very strange but in reality it's absolutely brilliant; we loved it and by the looks of it so did the other 19,997 people watching." The Bad Shepherds have also been nominated for the 2010 Folk Awards in the Best Live Act category. Their recently released debut cd is 'Yan, Tyan, Tethera, Methera'.
We are extremely pleased to announce the Hersham Boys themselves, Sham 69, the godfathers of street punk. Formed in 1975 by Dave Parsons (guitar) and Jimmy Pursey (vocals) they were never as commercially successful as many of their contemporaries despite having more chart entries and a strong following. Their singles include such classics as Hurry Up Harry, Angels With Dirty Faces, Hersham Boys and If The Kids Are United. An updated version of Hurry Up Harry, Hurry Up England, became the England anthem for the 2006 football world cup. The current line up still features Dave Parsons along with Tim V (vocals), who has brought renewed power and energy to the band, Ian Whitewood (drums) and Al Campbell (bass). They have recently toured the world, playing the USA , Japan , Russia , Australia and even China . A new album is due out very soon as well a documentary of their tour of China . Expect a high energy set with some great songs!
www.myspace.com/officialsham69 Also confirmed is Ella Edmondson, the Dartmoor based singer songwriter and daughter of Bad Shepherd, Adrian. Her music is contemporary folk tinged with pop. She has toured extensively in recent years and has just released her debut album, 'Hold Your Horses' and received some great reviews. Ella has also been nominated in the Best Breakthrough Artist category in the Festival of the Year awards.
Returning after a lively set last year are Los Salvadores. They raised the tempo and gave a really spirited performance, their unique style of folk punk and dance music proving a great hit with the crowd. A six piece from Kent they have been touring since 2005 and receiving great reviews. We look forward to being wowed by them again.
We also welcome Grunge/blues trio, Los, wth their stripped back and bass free rock. Chris Hamilton on guitar, Dan Hale on drums and Helen Sargent on vocals and keyboards have a sound that is not quite like anything else around at the moment. They have attracted plenty of highly favourable comments such as “absolutely brilliant”, “kicking up a fiery blues storm” and “blazing song writing”. Catch them here at Party in the Park and see them first hand.
Back again by popular demand are Stress, everyone's favourite covers band who are now rapidly becoming the Party in the Park house band. Their tight sound and quality musicianship plus an excellent choice of songs make them a huge crowd pleaser, as can be seen by the number of people who get up and dance when the boys start playing!
From Dorset we have four piece pop soul outfit StopGoSixty and their fusing of white soul sounds with popular melodies and piano and guitar riffs. The official launch of the band is March 2010 and they have a debut ep out. One to watch! Bringing their unique ska and reggae style to Galhampton are King Tuts Revenge, a Yeovil based band whose influences include Green Day and Dire Straits. Formed in 2005 they have played with the likes of Bad Manners and are guaranteed you have you up dancing. www.myspace.com/kingtutsrevenge ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
