‘Great’ line-up, food and beer at Kineton Music Festival

Lya of Not Taken launches the Kineton Music Festival at the Warwickshire and Northamptonshire Air Ambulance base with Dr Nagreena Hussain and paramedic Paul Mullins.

Lya Steward, lead singer with festival headliners, rock band Not Taken, visited the air ambulance base in Baginton to launch the event, which last year raised £6,000, half of which was donated to the WNAA. The band will be on of 20 which will entertain audiences on two stages at Kineton Sports and Social Club.

Pete Stanton of the festival committee said: “We have been knocked out by the quality and number of bands wanting to appear this year.

“We have been able to include a range of genres, including R&B, indie, new wave, funk, heavy metal - and a slew of highly talented and individual bands that defy categorisation, but all provide crowd-pleasing quality.”

Fellow organiser Greg Molan said: “The air ambulance was called out for my son a few years ago when he came off his scooter, so I know just how lucky we are to have this service. We hope we can donate even more this time.

“We have a great line-up, great beer and food and a very friendly atmosphere.”
