Kennyfest 2012

The final Kennyfest takes place at Bar Independent, Sunderland on Saturday 29th and Sunday 30th September 2012.

Kennyfest is a two rock festival in Sunderland, which is in memory of a local musician by the name of Kenny Brown. Kenny was a popular person on the local gig circuit and was instantly recognisable due to his meteor emblazoned wheelchair. Kenny went onto become one of the first disabled driving instructors in the UK. Sadly Kenny passed away in June 2006 and Kennyfest was born in his memory. This will be the last year for Kennyfest - One Last Blast.
