K2 Postpone Visit To SUMMERS END FESTIVAL

K2 have postponed their visit to the SUMMERS END FESTIVAL until next year due to a family illness.

They have been replaced by the excellent DAY SIX and also DELAN BURKE will open the festival on the Friday evening.

The full press release is as follows...

Summers End – K2 withdraw, Day Six in and Declan Burke on Friday

A little flurry of news about the Summers End Festival , which takes place on 7th, 8th and 9th October at Lydney Town Hall, Gloucestershire.

Unfortunately, due to a serious illness to a member of bassist Ken Jaquess' immediate family, K2 have had to withdraw from this year's festival. We wish Ken and his family well and have agreed that they will play in 2012. Their replacements are the remarkable Day Six from Holland. Having stolen the show at the Fused Festival in Lydney in April this year, we knew that we would have to bring them back for Summers End at some point, and K2's unfortunate withdrawal, for a year at least, has give us that opportunity. You will not be disappointed. http://www.myspace.com/daysixweb

To complete or line up we are delighted to welcome Declan Burke and band to open the Friday night of the festival. Dec is no stranger to the festival having already played with Darwin's Radio and Frost, so the opening slot is in safe hands! www.decburke.com
