He said: “We brought out this song called Black Hole on September 6 and it’s the eighth song we released – it’s been played around the world on digital radio, it was track of the day in Alicante, and it’s cool to get songs out there and get a good reaction from people.

“At the show, we’re going to play a mixture of our own songs and some covers – All Along the Watchtower, Rocking In The Free World. We’re basically a rock and roll band with the emphasis on good songs and good gigs.”

The band members are Drums: Steve Purton; Bass – Steve Collington; Keyboard and backing vocal – Paul Lewis and the track was recorded in York at Young Thugs Studios.

The song will be performed live at the festival and the music video can be found here.

On the evening, the main stage line-up will be as follows: Gary Stewart (5pm); Attention Freaks (6pm); The Rusty Pegs (7pm); Miles & The Chain Gang (8pm). There will also be an acoustic stage.
