GROUSEFEST returns to The Grouse, Brampton on Bank Holiday Sunday 30th August with 11 of the region's best musical acts joining forces to raise funds for Ashgate Hospicecare at the annual rock & booze fest.

Included in the line-up are long-time supporters DFACTO, YOUR NEXT and CRACKIN' RIGHT FOOT alongside new faces such as BAD LANGUAGE, BARNIE RUBBLZ and THE JAMBUSTERS.

Cranking the amps up to 11, TOWARDS THE SUN and FULL THROTTLE cater for those that like a heavier edge, with party-rockers SOME KINDA MUSHROOM and ESCAPE PLAN providing light relief.

The day is rounded off with a headline set from the internationally renowned tribute to The Blues Brothers - JAKE & ELWOOD BLUES who have been wow'ing audiences across the continent for more years than they care to remember.


Landlady, Jodi, said "GrouseFest is the pinnacle of our musical year and, somehow, we manage to raise the bar every time; it's a great community event to raise funds for a cause that is close to all our hearts with some of our favourite bands who have played in the pub over the past 12 months"

With a hog-roast to quell your hunger and an outside bar to quench your thirst, be sure to shake your tail-feather and head down to The Grouse this Bank Holiday Weekend!

Free Entry - First band on at 12.30pm - Donations to Ashgate Hospicecare appreciated.
