2005 - This ended up being the first Lamps fest and in 2005 the line up was as follows. Carnaby Street, Loud, Ugly & Crap, Red Rooster, Run 4 Cover, Fat Salad and Capone. It was held in July to commemorate the 60th anniversary of VE/VJ Day. The charity we supported was The British Legion.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2006 - This year we supported Cancer Research UK. We expanded it a bit and also moved the date to the Bank Holiday Sunday at the end of May. We had Daz as our host and on the bill were Brigstow, Red Rooster, Triniti, Capone and headlined by Queen Tribute band - They Will Rock You.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2007 - Daz was back to host again and also we supported Cancer Research UK again. Fat Salad, Dusk, Angel Up Front, The Waveband and Capone were on the bill, but such as our Bank Holiday weather is, was moved in side as torrential rain hammered down all day. So we made it mini-fest and moved it indoors and Daz, Angel up Front and Capone performed and still managed to raise a profit for charity.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2008 - Capone are joined this year by Brigstow, The Baggys, The Tonemasters, The Rifftoads, Journey up the Wood, Ashton and hosted by Daz again. We are supporting the locally run charity Nicola Corry Support Foundation and events this year are taking place on Sat 21st June. Door tax is £6.
