An all-Island music and family fun extravaganza, headlined by chart-topping, home-grown talent Level 42, is to be staged by the Island?s favourite radio station this summer (Monday 4 June, 2012).
The Isle of Wight Radio organised event will ensure families celebrate the Queen?s Diamond Jubilee in style ? with all things Isle of Wight, from food to music and entertainment.
The 12-hour festivities will be set against the magnificent backdrop of the iconic Northwood House, and will be the first time in several decades that Northwood Park has been used for a large outside event of this kind.
The music bill promises a plethora of local bands from a hotbed of Island talent, including names such as The Operators and Goodbye Stereo.
Pride of the Island Level 42, in their first headline slot at an Isle of Wight event since the early 1990s, will close the festivities in true feelgood fashion. It?s a double whammy for the band?s Frontman Mark King, who not only hails from our fair isle, but is also the patron of Beaulieu House, a residential respite unit for children with severe learning difficulties. The whole event will therefore be in support of the Newport-based service.
Mark King from Level 42 said:
?Wow! I?m so excited to be bringing the band back home for what will be a fantastic day for everyone. We?ll have the best of the Island?s music talent on show throughout the day, and in the most beautiful setting at Northwood House in Cowes.
?This will be the best Jubilee celebration on the Island, and knowing that the proceeds will be going to Beaulieu House Respite Care Centre is the icing on the Jubilee cake!,? he added.
As well as celebrating the Island?s musical abilities, this true family day out will highlight the best on offer from the larder of our garden isle. Among the local producers attending is Ventnor Fisheries, which will be serving up the most quintessential of British of suppers, along with Calborne Classics who will be offering the taste of summer.
Add to the mix the Englishness of coconut shies, bouncy castles and street entertainment, and the event is the perfect way to wrap up this most royal of bank holiday weekends. And with further acts and bands still to be announced, the event is shaping up to be one that?s truly fit for a Queen.
