Final music announcements for this year's Kite Festival. This is for our Bandstand Stage once again programmed by Little Miss Music Promotions And what a line up it is!
Saturday 6 June
12.30pm George Bailey - Teesside indie/folk/rock artist with raw northern edge creating music that is both intimate and powerful
1.30pm Naomi Kelly - Described by NARC magazine as a style that “wouldn’t go amiss in a playlist with names like Grace Petrie and Lucy Spraggan”, Naomi Kelly’s style is a unique blend of indie, folk, and pop music - combining to create their distinctly homegrown sound.
3.30pm Max York - an exciting new talent from the heart of the Tees Valley. Blending indie, folk, and pop rock with emotive song writing and soaring lyrics, his music explores his own experiences of love, loss, and growing up in our volatile modern world.
4.30 Finlay Dobing - Hartlepool born, Newcastle based singer songwriter drawing from influences such as Elliott Smith, The Beatles, Phoebe Bridgers and Jack White.

Sunday 7 June
12.30 Youth Music - Noah AJC & Abby Lou.
Noah AJC is a rising pop artist turning personal stories into infectious, emotionally-charged music. Their journey began at just 12 years old through a local youth music programme (Tuned In! 2 Music), where a passion for song writing and performance quickly took shape.
Abby Lou from Middlesbrough has loved singing for as long as she can remember. Her biggest musical inspirations are Taylor Swift and Lizzy McAlpine. Her songs are honest, emotional, and probably a bit too specific!
1.30 Alfie Hopwood - 17 year old singer/songwriter from Redcar performing original music and a few mod/britpop covers.
2.30 J P Riggall - A versatile multi-instrumentalist and storytelling with a penchant for creating rich, cinematic sonic worlds.
4.30 Annie Lince - singer and guitarist Annie has a repertoire that ranges from 60s hits to modern classics so there really is something for everyone.
