Typically Tina is an amazingly accurate tribute to The Queen of Rock & Roll featuring so many of her greatest hits.

Expect a right old knees-up… The Wurzels are appearing down on the farm this September!

We’re bringing the Scrumpy and Western band best known for their number one hit ‘The Combine Harvester’ to our new farm site in Ryde for an evening of not-to-be-missed entertainment.

Expect a special extended set with all the hits, stories and jokes from a career spanning more than 52 years

As one of the UK’s most enduring folk bands, The Wurzels formed in the 1960s. They’ve enjoyed plenty of chart success over the years, with their comedic folk hits including ‘I Am a Cider Drinker,’ ‘Ruby,’ and ‘Drink Up Thy Zider.’ Their lyrics are often packed full of double entendre, remaining true to their West Country wit and style.

Effortlessly combining music, good humour and fun, these veteran ‘Zider’ drinkers still know how to party!

Support will be provided by The Redcatz Rock ‘n’ Roll Trio who recreate the hits of Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry, Eddie Cochran, Bill Haley, Big Joe Turner and more.

Situated in a pretty meadow on a small working farm, overlooking the scenic views of nearby Brading Downs, this will be an open-air concert. With hay bales, a Real Ale bar courtesy of Island Ales (not just cider available…) and freshly cooked local produce BBQ prepared on-site by Hazelgrove Farm kitchen, it’s the ideal way to round off the Island’s Summer season.
