Live Music in the Garden Charity Fundraiser in aid of Blood Cancer UK, a memorial to Dave Robinson.
We have a whole host of excellent bands and musicians performing on the Rose Stage as part of our Summer season of Gigs in the Garden.
Here's the lineup so far:
Moonage - the best Bowie tribute band.
Moonage are also playing here as their unplugged trio on Saturday 7th March and return as a full band on Saturday 15th August.
The Ding Dong Daddios - the amazing swing and jive quartet, performing across the UK for 25 years
Moonshine (Southern US Rock) - see them here first on Friday 6th March.
Rotherfield Walking Football Club musicians (Dave was part of this great walking football club)
The Incredible Spring Band, reforming for this one-off gig! A very special treat by 6 local legendary musicians getting back together to play a great selection of rock covers
