Loose Change

Playing from 7pm, Loose Change are an internationally renowned touring soul band from Kent, who have become favourites at such international venues as the Kinsale Jazz Festival and the Isle of Wight Beer Festival. Loose Change have fitted the Ashford Beer Festival into their busy schedule and a promising to get the festival off to a rousing start.

Music Saturday 6th September

Up All Night

Our first band for Saturday are Up All Night. They are an Ashford based band who provide a high energy approach to their music, that will set the stage on fire. Hmmm.

The Interseptors

The Interseptors are a fabulous collection of professional musicians who are based in East Kent. They have an extensive and impressive array of music to suit all tastes. They will be on stage from 3pm and will really set the tone for the evening.

Eagle Four

Eagle Four make a welcome return from Belgium, where they apparently practice their English between gigs by watching old episodes of The Old Grey Whistle Test. Some may say for inspiration but who knows. They are becoming very popular in the East Kent area and are playing gigs throughout the year on our side of The Channel. A great bunch of guys and well worth listening to.

Electric River

Once again the best band in Ashford grace the rugby club. They are picture at the top of the page, playing at the 2007 festival. We are really lucky to get the guys to play for us and they will, as ever, lift the roof. OK, so its open air but they'll still manage it! If you haven't seen Electric River in action, nows the time, you won't be disappointed.

Music Sunday 7th September

Sunday's schedule is still to be arranged. So far:

• Electric River.
