The Pickering 60s Festival 2009

The Pickering 60s Festival is a FREE annual event held in the small market town of Pickering, North Yorkshire. Organised by a small committee of people and paid for by local fund raising events. Now in its second year the event has been expanded to two days, Friday 12th and Saturday 13th June, in 2009.

The main attraction over the two days is live sixties music from both headline and local bands. During the evening on each day of the event there is a local 60s tribute band in each Public House in Pickering.

The confirmed headline act for Saturday is The Piggies. Also confirmed are The Swinging Blue Jeans, Mr Josh Doyle (Shadows Tribute Artist), Pip Garbutt Band, Minus Benn, and, at Pickering Working Mens Club, Ray Randall, Ex-Tornados guitarist from 1963-1966 who backed prestigious artists such as Billy Fury. Local band confirmations currently include The Shadows Tribute Band with more bands to be confirmed.

Other activities include a parade of classic sixties vehicles, fancy dress, period hairstyling, memorabilia stalls, kiddies rides, and more.
