Vale Earth Fair Going Ahead With Wealth Of Local Talent

Vale Earth Fair collective members begin the set-up for Sunday's music festival

Music fans will be heading for the north of the island this Sunday for the Vale Earth Fair.

The event is going ahead in a slightly different form this year, due to Covid-19 restrictions. 

There will be six stages with entertainment from noon until midnight, but all the acts will be local and no visiting artists will be coming from outside the island.

There'll be a wide variety of performers from traditional live music, DJs, spoken word and acoustic sounds.

The Recks will headline on the main Castle Stage.

Jade Kershaw from the Vale Earth Fair Collective says they're delighted to be able to go ahead with the event this year.

"We're really thankful because we've got so much talent on the island so we can pull this off.  

"New this year is the Magic Pyramid Stage, which is more acoustic-based music. The Pixie Stage which is trance and stuff. There's Breaks and Beats which is drum and bass and a bit of dance and such, and the Sneakaway round the back, which is poetry and prose. 

"We're absolutely chuffed. We're starting with the set-up this week. The weather doesn't deter us. We're just going to go ahead and get everything together as we need to. We just enjoy doing it."
