A popular Indie band has revealed that they are delighted to be headlining a local music festival this summer.
Jesus Jones, who were hugely successful in the 1990s, will be performing at this year’s TwyFest, in a bill that also includes The Wurzels and tribute band Kings ov Leon.
The group shared in a Facebook post of their excitement at coming to Twyford for the event, saying that they enjoy the atmosphere at smaller events.
The music day on Saturday, June 4 is just part of the 10-day festival, which includes a talent show, a darts contest, comedy nights and food and drink events. It is organised by members of the Twyford Village Partnership.
Jesus Jones are quite a coup for the Festival, with a string of hits to their name. Their 1991 album Doubt topped the charts.
Writing on their Facebook page on Monday morning, Jesus Jones said:
“We’re delighted to tell you we’ll be headlining band night at Twyfest, in Twyford near Wokingham, on June the 4th. We’ve always loved playing small intimate festivals like this – the crowds are amazing the atmosphere is second to none.
“It’s close to the M4, it’s an easy journey from London, it’s going to be a great day out!”
Tickets are due to go on sale in April.
Twyford’s Got Talent is open for entries. The fun event takes place on Sunday, May 29 in a specially-erected marquee in The Duke of Wellington pub. For more details, log on to www.facebook.com/twyfordsgottalent
