The
recently announced Great Northern Mod & SKA music festival has generated a
massive buzz both locally and across the country with unprecedented ticket
sales already!
What the
vast majority of people don't know is that the team behind the event is the same
group of music loving volunteers that have been putting on the Richmond Live
music festival in North Yorkshire for the last seventeen years.
The Great
Northern Mod and SKA Festival will be held across four days from August 28th to
31st spanning the Summer Bank Holiday 2015. The venue is the unique and
picturesque Thorp Perrow Arboretum in North Yorkshire. Despite being a stone's
throw from the A1 Thorp Perrow is nestled in the Yorkshire countryside on the
edge of the beautiful Yorkshire Dales.

of acts continues to grow and the organisers are delighted to announce the

Great
Northern Festival Managing Director Mike Jinks said: 'Many folk thought we were
just some sort of commercial venture out to make money from the revival of this
great genre but we aren't. We've loved putting on Richmond Live literally from
nothing as volunteers for many years and it made sense to expand into another
event everyone could enjoy and rely upon. We've been absolutely blown away by
the level of interest it has generated and I'd strongly recommend anybody
wishing to attend buys their tickets soon as numbers are limited.'
As well as
live music there will be many other attractions including organised scooter
rides around the 2014 Tour-de-France course through the astoundingly beautiful
scenery of the Yorkshire Dales, Show and shine, fairground rides etc.
On-site
camping is included in the weekend tickets along with all facilities including
showers and an on-site shop for any bits and bobs you may have forgotten.
Ticket
prices are exceptionally good value for money at just over £20 a day for weekend
tickets with all attractions and acts included in the price. For ticket sales
