Saddleworth Round Table put on another fantastic evening of music at the beautiful setting of John Collin’s Doctor House Farm. The working barn was transformed complete with huge stage, great lighting and a well-equipped bar made from straw bales giving a rustic feel to proceedings.
The event attracted over 300 revellers who danced
late into the night. The evening kicked off with the brilliant Natalie McGrath, followed by a Band in a Barn legend Marcus Songs.The event had DJ sets by local heroes Howling Rhythm with the headline spot going to the energetic Professor Fonque and the all- stars.
The beer was provided by Donkeystone Brewing co. who put a selection of fantastic larger and ales on. Wood fifired pizza and Mobile Gourmet kitchen kept the crowds well fed with their delicious pizzas, burgers and burritos.
The event, which started in 2013, has become a fifixture on the Saddleworth event calendar and this couldn’t have been the case without the generosity of John Collins who gives the barn over each year for the event to take place.
The event has generated close to £5,034.80 for Saddleworth Round Table who in-turn are appealing to local charities and worthy causes to get in touch if
they require funds.
This year’s event lead John Arthurs (29) commented on the event saying ‘The success of this event is down to the coming together of Saddleworth Round Table members, who each put in effort to make the event possible, additionally the generosity of local businesses such as Manchester Cabins, Holroyd skips, HPP, Donkeystone, Rose scaffolding, Carol at St Johns Ambulance and fifinally John & Joanne Collins’.
