Wurzels rock first Somerset Cider Festival at Pawlett

5:00pm Monday 2nd July 2012 in News

THOUSANDS turned out for the first Somerset Cider Festival at Pawlett Pavilion where the weekend fun was headlined by The Wurzels.

The crowds enjoyed a good sing-along to classics such as Combine Harvester, Blackbird and, fittingly for the occasion, I Am A Cider Drinker.

Local band Magnus Puto warmed the audience up with their toe-tapping tunes and there was a variety of stalls, ciders and refreshments to enjoy.

U2 tribute band Rocker Covers, along with Out For Tomorrow and The Wizards, also provided entertainment.

Organiser Aide Mee said: “The feedback we’ve had from people has been phenomenal. We had a big crowd and we had to turn some people away.

“Everybody has been asking when the next one will be – all I can say is this is the first of many.

“The location was great and I’d like to thank everyone who was involved.”
