Lift Festival May Weekend CANCELLED/POSTPONED

This years festival which was due to take place in May has now been cancelled. We are bitterly disappointed about this. We were informed last week by High Peak Borough Council that snow and ice damage to the Town Hall made it unsafe so all events there are cancelled until further notice.

However the planned festival concert on May 14th at Glossopdale Community College featuring Gilad Atzmon (The Blockheads, OHE), Sarah Gillespie and the Glossopdale Swing Band will go ahead as planned.

The evening at the Town Hall on May 15th was to have featured the legendary Adrian Sherwood OnU Sound System with Little Roy and Brother Culture (another major coup for The Lift!) and they have kindly agreed to move this to later in the year when we hope that the remedial work to the Town Hall will have been completed - Letters to the local media pushing this work to happen might be a good idea (we have already lost Victoria Hall to lose the Town Hall as well would be a scandal!)

The performances at The Globe on Sunday May 16th will now also be rescheduled.

YouTube - there are now videos up from 2009 Lift gigs for you to enjoy- Angel Brothers, Baked A La Ska, Carmen Souza, Catfish Keith, Celloman, Gilad Atzmon and O.H.E, Etran Finatawa, The Hut People, Thomas Western.
