The Dentdale Music & Beer Festival 28th-30th June 2013

Music for 2013

We have a great weekend of live music for you this year featuring some of the best acoustic acts in the country.

With more than 25 artists covering folk, blues, country, bluegrass, jazz and all points in between, there's something for everyone.

Are you a musician?

If you're a musician or play in a band and would like to be considered for the 2014 Dentdale Music & Beer Festival please get in touch.

Due to the large numbers of requests we receive each year it would help us greatly and improve your chances of being booked if you include internet links to recent live performances.

The line-up for this year is now complete but any requests we receive will be considered for next year's festival.

A big thank you to everyone who's applied so far!
