The Regulars Beer Festival Music Blog


The Regulars Beer Festival
Fri/Sat 17-18thAugust
The Aspinall Arms Hotel is dedicated to hosting great live music events as well as serving fantastic real ales and great pub meals which makes it a fairly unique establishment. With its huge beer garden and play area, picturesque Ribble Valley setting and music connections it’s proved a great spot for the warmly revered forthcoming indie rock/acoustic Cloudspotting Festival (July 27-28) and now the Regulars Beer Festival (Friday, August 17, 6-12pm and Saturday, August 18, 2-12pm).


Not only have long established acts made the Aspinall a favourite venue (such as The Animals or former members of Fairport Convention) but up and coming touring bands have made this pub a welcome stop-off point. Rock/Americana acts, local bands and recent mercury music prize nominee King Creosote (Scottish indie folk) are among those who have enjoyed the warm hospitality, accommodation and regular audience to make some great events and exuberant nights truly happen here. 


The Regulars Beer Festival is not just a celebration of great beer (selected by the pub regulars) but also a sound-conscious live music event with all the acts selected for their originality and talent as well as their ability to entertain. They all hail from the north west of England, write their own material and provide an often energetic and soulful mix of rock, folk, indie and acoustic songwriter sounds. Best of all, entrance is free. 

Watch this space or join our facebook events page for the forthcoming line-up!

. Jamie Brewer

Review of Friday night act Jamie Brewer by Chris Copestake of The Ark: "After unknowingly setting up, like a musical ninja, first act Jamie Brewer stunned the ever growing crowd and sent the entire building into silence with his flawless instrumental style, Brewer used every inch of his guitar to create a mind-blowing sound. His set, which included impeccable covers of Everybody Wants to Rule the World by Tears for Fears, and Gnarls Barkley’s Crazy, where met by a truly justified, and a well-deserved, round of applause."
