Tonight: Fright Fest feast of Harrogate bands

Fright Fest, organised by local musician Rufus Beckett of acclaimed acoustic duo The Paper Waits, will be held once again at Henshaws Arts & Crafts Centre in Knaresborough.

As well as raising funds for Henshaws, the charity supporting people living with sight loss and a range of other disabilities to go beyond expectations, it’s always boasts a cracking line-up of the best local musical talent plus a smattering of high quality out of town acts and tonight’s is no different.

As befits its name, appropriately enough, the event has a ‘Myths and Monsters’ theme.

The sixth to date, the diverse line-up ranges from rock to rap, acoustic to very loud.

The live line-up which will run from 6pm until midnight, will feature the following acts: Bring the Wolf, Biz Denton, Adam Westerman, Drop Leg Steppers, Misery Bids, Lords of Power, Andrew Cameron, , Leo Hicks, Lobo (acoustic set) and Douglas Thompson.

The headliner on the main stage will be Harrogate rapper Lence who has built a reputation in recent years in the Leeds’ hip hop scene for a series of amazing tracks and videos such as Fly Away, Collision and Old Town Revival , a nostalgic, personal journey through Lence’s own Harrogate roots, his friends and loves, from his fledgling days at the Blues Bar’s jam nights to a recent homecoming show at a Charm night in Harrogate’s North Bar.

Fright Fest will also feature a licenced bar, hot dogs, pie and peas. Spooky dress is actively encouraged

Entry is free but a donation of £3 on the door towards Henshaw’s charity is suggested.
