Get ready to sing, dance, and rock out – audience participation isn’t just encouraged; it’s essential! Don’t miss out – experience the hype and see why Sneaky Finch is the go-to band for a rocking good time!

Saturday Night Support Act!
John Anderson Acoustic
John Anderson Acoustic is a singer and acoustic guitarist from Sunderland with a powerful voice and engaging stage presence. He’ll be getting the Greystoke crowd dancing with the early set on Saturday evening. John played the beer festival for the first time last year and was a huge hit so we are delighted to welcome him back again this year. One review from last year said: “John Anderson was excellent” – and we agree!
John’s repertoire is filled with original takes on classic cover versions which combine everything from mellow and soulful ballads to stand-up and sing-a-long anthems. Everyone will find something that makes their foot tap or soul sing with John’s range of eclectic covers.
An experienced performer who regularly plays gigs across the North East and here in Cumbria, John’s crowd-pleasing sets feature songs by acts as diverse as The Beautiful South, The Eagles, Erasure, Dolly Parton, Take That, Queen, Del Amitri, Adele and Men at Work. Audiences can be sure of an evening filled with a range of rock and pop standards from across the decades, 80’s classics and even a TV theme tune or two for good measure.
With a huge range of songs to choose from, no two nights are ever the same meaning John’s performances are not to be missed!
Friday Night Headliners
Greystoke Beer Festival are excited to announce that the Friday night headliners will be Sparky and the Wailer.
Cumbria’s answer to Tom Jones and Jools Holland, Sparky and the Wailer cover mainly blues but try to include some popular covers and singalong songs too. They must like beer festivals (I wonder why …) and you may have recently seen them open the Penrith Beer Festival this year!
We’re sure Greystoke will be rocking away all Friday night to some great choons! Check out their highlights reel below!
Why not give them a follow on Facebook and if you’ve not got your Friday night tickets yet … What are you waiting for? It’s going to be a great night!
