Lakefest: The Proclaimers

Lakefest: The Proclaimers
One of the Sunday headliners at Lakefest, this year, were Scottish brothers The Proclaimers.

The band, whose tour manager lives near Bromyard, .

Charlie and Craig Reid have released 11 studio albums since 1987 and say they've written more than 150 songs.

The band were discovered after sending their demo to the Housemartins and landed a UK tour - leading them to make their television debut.

We get their top tips for success - including unlikely places to get your music heard (such as Shrek!).

Lakefest: Toploader

Lakefest: Toploader
They've sold more than two million albums, have had a string of top 20 hits across the听world, but are mostly known as a covers band!

Toploader performed at Lakefest, on Sunday, and say the success of Dancing In The Moonlight was because there wasn't anything similar being released at the time.

The band have been regulars at our local music festivals - playing Mello, WuStock, Livestock and Wychwood in recent years.

Lakefest: The Farm

Lakefest: The Farm
One of the Saturday headliners, at this year's Lakefest, were Liverpool band The Farm.

We hear about their big hit single 'All Together Now', which was written about the Christmas truce on the Western Front during World War I.

The band talk about how that song has become a football anthem at stadiums all over the world.

Lakefest: The Wurzels

Lakefest: The Wurzels
They're known for their big hits The Combine Harvester and I Am A Cider Drinker; The Wurzels were another act to grace the stages at this year's Lakefest.

But the band have had a long affiliation听with our area, regularly playing at Hogarths in Hereford, The Malvern Cube, Nozstock and the Upton Sunshine Festival.

One of their newest singles, Old Rosie, was written about a steam engine based at Weston's Cider in Much Marcle near Ledbury.

Jack Hyphen began writing mellow acoustic tracks after the split of Herefordshire indie rock band Point Zero, which he was the front man of.

Jack, who鈥檚 from Shobdon near Leominster, draws influence from artists such as Ben Howard, Bombay Bicycle Club, Alt-J, MGMT, Catfish and The Bottlemen, Two Door Cinema Club, Biffy Clyro and Hozier.

However, to fill out our 主播大秀 Music stage at Lakefest, he recruited some additional musicians...from his old band, Point Zero!

"A dynamic songwriter with beautiful melodies and a real warmth on stage" - Andrew Marston.
