AMBER VALLEY CAMRA RIPLEY RAIL ALE FESTIVAL
The second Amber Valley CAMRA Ripley Rail Ale Festival at Butterley Station, Ripley, between 29th September and 2nd October 2011, promises to be bigger and better than last year’s successful, inaugural event. Once again, the main sponsor is the Queens Head, Marlpool. Other sponsors include The Hunters Arms, Kilburn, Amber Brewery, Ripley and Wade Printers of Newthorpe.
Over 80 real ales, augmented by carefully selected traditional cider and perry will be the mainstay of a festival which has a stellar line-up of bands headed by the Rollin’ Stoned on Saturday evening. This Rolling Stones’ cover are widely regarded as the pick of the Stones’ tribute bands as they replicate every facet of the Stones’ stage act. The power, menace and sheer artistry of the music, allied to the flamboyant costumes so characteristic of the Stones, perfectly capture 1960s hedonism. The Rollin Stoned are supported by comedy skiffle band Kick’n’Rush.
Returning by popular demand to headline on Friday night, are All The Kings Men, who took the festival by storm last year with their classy repertoire of rock and pop covers, supported by folk rock band Jiggery Folkery.
Thursday evening entertainment in the marquee is from The Re-Entrants, not to be missed!
