Hyndburn Mela and Community Festival

Sunday August 7th, 2005, 1pm - 7pm

Oakhill Park, Accrington

Organisers of the Hyndburn Mela and Community Festival are able to announce some of the fantastic live bands that will be appearing on the music stage throughout the Festival event on August 7th.

Headliners Dr Zeus, who perform at the Blackburn Mela this weekend, will perform in the late afternoon but until then there will be a variety of music styles guaranteed to find something for everyone. Names include; Silinder Pardesi, who also appear on the Blackburn line up; a Bob Marley tribute band and local bands . And it’s all going to be held together by the beautiful Tamsin Lucia Khan who will be compering the event.

Dr Zeus are a midlands based band who are recognised as being one of the up and coming bhangra bands of the moment. Their latest album, The Original Edit, currently features on BBCs Asian Network top playlist.

Silinder Pardesi started his singing career at a very young age, singing in Sikh temples and being influenced by his idol Mohd. Since winning the Asian Song Contest in 1986, Pardesi has been an important part of the bhangra music scene in the UK. Pardesi has won numerous awards throughout his career and has even been honoured by the Indian High Commissioner for the UK.

Last year over 5,000 people were attracted to Oakhill Park – and this year organisers hope to see an even bigger crowd.

The main organisers of the Hyndburn Festival are Hyndburn Borough Council, Mid Pennine Arts, and Lancashire Youth and Community service.

Other activities going on in the park include

· Arts and Craft activities for all the family

· Clowns and jugglers

· Fairground rides

· Face and henna painting

· Multicultural catering stalls.

· Table football event
