A FABULOUS feast of food, drink and culture is to be capped with live music from legendary Liverpool band The Farm.
The group, who had eight top 49 hit singles in the UK including Groovy Train and All Together Now, bring their anthemic live show to the two day festival at Claremont Farm in June.
Farm Feast takes place slightly later this year in the hope of attracting finer weather and even more people.
The Farm, led by Peter Hooton, crown a weekend of music that’s in keeping with the locally sourced ethos of the food offer at Farm Feast in celebrating homegrown music.
The best of the music from Liverpool and Wirral offers a melodic backdrop to the food and drink across Saturday, June 13 and Sunday, June 14.
Andrew Pimbley, festival director of Farm Feast said: “At our heart we love great food but the best times are always those with a soundtrack to match.
"Just as we’re passionate about sourcing the best local food producers and those creating interesting dishes and ingredients so we’ve found the best local music acts with a strong Scouse pedigree for sound."
