Indietracks Music Festival '12

Indietracks, the three day festival for 2,000 people combines heritage trains and indiepop music in the Derbyshire countryside. Guests are free to enjoy the regular facilities of the Midland Railway Butterley such as the steam train rides, farm and museum, and enjoy a range of new and established indiepop bands.
