Nod Ya Head... in a field

They may not have hosted their first event of the new year quite yet but Fareham-based promoters Nod Ya Head are already planning something big for the Summer; an afternoon and evening of live music in the picturesque hamlet just north of the market town.

The sleepy village of Wallington is situated just a short stroll from the centre of Fareham and boasts a couple of pubs and a charming water-meadow where the Summer fête is usually held. However, on Sunday 7th July, the field will be alive with an afternoon and evening of live music.

Amongst the first acts announced as playing at Nod Ya Head's Summer Party are Brighton three-piece Mantras who are joined on the bill by Elephant Radio, an pop-rock outfit from Eastbourne. Also named in the initial line-up are Fareham pub-punk trio Lo-Fi Rebels, some catchy indie guitar pop courtesy of Portsmouth's The Deckards and a set from talented youngster Harrison Etherington (who, despite his tender age, has already played Victorious Festival (twice).







In addition to the music there promises to be a bar and a small record fair, all hosted with the music in a sizeable marquee. The organisers are also promising a hog roast, which is nice if that's your bag but I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for a vegetarian alternative.

Early Bird tickets are now available online via Book Events, priced at £10 (for 18+) and £5 (13-17 years), with under 13s getting in FREE

UPDATE:

24/03 Unfortunately it appears Mantras are no longer part of the line-up however, as per the updated poster below, the bill has been bolstered by the addition of Portsmouth singer-songwriter Jamin, Bournemouth indie folk outfit Hello Hawaii and Gosport indie-blues trio Hooli. With yet more acts still to be announced this is shaping up to be a rather great way to spend a sunny Saturday in July.
