After attracting sell-out crowds for the last two years, organisers have added a second stage for the event on Sunday May 25, enabling even more entertainment.

Headliners will include favourites such as Blind Lemon and James Baker, along with many more.

Gastronomic delights will be dished up by seven local food vendors, ranging from award-winning Paisley Flour to Neapolitan specialist Calabbria.

The festival, at the club’s Walshes Farm Meadow ground, off Dunley Road, from 12pm until 10pm, will also feature craft stalls, cocktail, gin and real ale bars.

First team captain Charlie Foley said: “We are looking forward to our third festival and expecting even bigger crowds following the success of previous years. I think it’s now firmly entrenched in the town’s social calendar.

“With a second stage this year, we will be able to add a Silent Disco Party where local DJs will have the chance to perform in front of large crowds.”
