Bellowhead and Show Of Hands are the first headline acts to be announced for Towersey Festival. The festival takes place between Friday 28 August to Monday 31 August 2015 at The Thame Showground, Kingsey Road, Thame, Oxfordshire.

They’ll be joined by singer-songwriter and Tom Jones approved Voice UK 2014 finalist Sally Barker, The Treacherous Orchestra, and Martin Simpson, whose new venture sees him team with Nancy Kerr and melodeon player Andy Cutting.

Other acts announced include John Smith, The Travelling Band, and The Spooky Men’s Chorale. Further headline acts will be revealed in the New Year.

“We’re very pleased to be welcoming back Bellowhead, who have become one of the UK’s biggest live bands since they first played Towersey in 2006,” says Festival Director Joe Heap, who adds that 2015’s festival capitalises on the runaway success of the recent 50th anniversary. “If our Golden Jubilee in 2014 was our best festival yet, we want to make 2015 even better! We have some real surprises in store for festival-goers this year, as well as retaining everything our regular visitors have told us they love so much about Towersey.

An 11-piece English contemporary folk act, Bellowhead have won the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards’ Best Live Act title five times, while Show Of Hands are equally well regarded in the acoustic roots field. Though now perhaps best known for her tear jerking performances on The Voice UK, Sally Barker has a long and respected career as both a solo artist and member of the recently reformed Poozies.

“As a thanks to all those who booked early for our 50th festival, we’ve reduced the price of our first release tickets, and also introduced an opportunity for ticket buyers to spread the cost of payment over several months,” says Joe.
