More than 100 music fans went along to enjoy a warm-up concert for this year’s Ellesmere Port SummerJam in Great Sutton.
Great Sutton Village Hall hosted a live music showcase featuring four live local bands.
The event brought together friends and families from all bands, some of whom were getting the opportunity to see their chosen bands perform for the first time such as The Customs and Spelter.
Joining the two new bands were Turbulence and Broken 3 Ways. Turbulence, also relative newcomers to local music scene, have built followings in Chester and North Wales and have gigs booked for the coming weeks.
Broken 3 Ways are veterans of the local music scene and have been praised by many for keeping their Ska-roots alive and being at the forefront of the recent resurrection of Ska-Punk in the North West.
Ellesmere Port’s SummerJam will take place across two stages at Great Sutton Village Hall on Saturday, August 6. The doors open to the public at noon, with live entertainment starting shortly after.
As well as the 18 live acts across two stages, children will be able to enjoy the bouncy castle, bungees, inflatable slide, face painting, balloon modelling and families can get a photo in the vintage caravan photo booth.
There will be hot and cold food on site as well as a host of local business owners showcasing their products and services on the day.
Family entertainment and stall holders will be at the event until 5pm with entertainment and the bars continuing for the adults until 9pm.
The event will be headlined by Ellesmere Port band Days Above who are using the event as the platform to release their new EP which follows from their recently released music video for On Top Of The World.
Performing on the day on the outside stage will be Kriss James, Danny Boyle, Mike Bladen, Joe Sloan, The Radi8tors, SOS Same Old Story, Dead Pixels, Laura Jones, DJ Danny Kay, Idle Frets, Dead Pixels, Los Amigos and Days Above.
