Exciting Summer Vibes: Birdsall House to Host Live Music Festival!

This summer, the stunning North Yorkshire countryside will come alive with the inaugural Birdsall Summer Live music festival, set to take place at the historic Birdsall House. Against the backdrop of 1,000-year-old monastic ruins, the festival promises an afternoon and evening filled with exciting performances and a celebratory atmosphere.

Headlining Acts Bringing Joy to Yorkshire

Headlining the festival will be the renowned harmony group, The Overtones. Known for their modern take on classic soul and doo-wop, this multi-platinum group is anticipated to energize the crowd with favorites like "Gambling Man" and "Runaround Sue." Darren Everest, a member of the ensemble, expressed enthusiasm about returning to the unique venue, stating, "It’s a totally unique venue unlike any other we’ve been to and the Yorkshire crowd always provide a fantastic atmosphere."

Supporting Local Talent

The Birdsall Summer Live festival is not only about the headline act; it aims to spotlight the remarkable local talent in Yorkshire. With a strong commitment to emerging artists, the event has selected three winners from a talent call, covering a diverse range of genres from folk to opera. Lady Cara Willoughby, who resides at Birdsall House, shared her excitement: "We were completely overwhelmed by the response to the Birdsall House Talent Call... We’re thrilled with the three acts we have chosen, all from Yorkshire, and can’t wait to see them perform on the big stage in May."

A Relaxed Festival Atmosphere

Attendees can expect a relaxed festival vibe, complete with picnic blankets, summer cocktails, and wood-fired sourdough pizzas. The event aims to create a memorable day for all visitors, allowing them to immerse themselves in the cultural richness of live music while enjoying gourmet treats.
