Star attraction at this year’s Avebury Rocks on July 7th will be The Levellers, who are one of the biggest and best festival draws in the Country. Still holding the record for

attendance for a mainstage performance at Glastonbury of over 120,000 people, in July they appear in the heart of Avebury for a slightly smaller crowd to make sure Avebury really rocks.

The impressive line-up at Avebury also includes: Mike Peters, lead singer from rock bands The Alarm and Big Country; our own Nick Harper local singer/song writer and son of legendary singer Roy; .... continued on page 3.

... Continued from Page 1Cy Curnin and Jamie West-Oram of the rock band The Fixx who have

countless top ten hits in the USA and are still rocking from Hawaii to New York regularly and Swans in Flight – an acclaimed acoustic duo. Also appearing is George Wilding – up and coming star from Avebury who opened the show so impressively last year. More acts are yet to be confirmed.

Avebury Rocks is an all day event starting with a 20 mile sponsored walk from Avebury across our beautiful, historic downland with some of the musicians playing and singing en route. The music stop at Milk Hill will be the highest gig in Wiltshire while the lunch stop will be on top of Adams Grave the iron age hill fort overlooking Alton Barnes and its white horse. Here the five mile walkers will join the group and return via East Kennet and Silbury Hill. Walkers should register at www.lovehopestrength.co.uk.

The concert begins at 6pm at Avebury Sports Field next to the South West quadrant of The Henge. All pre-registered walkers will have free entry to the concert. Tickets for the concert are now on sale at Sound Knowledge in Marlborough, Holmes Music in Swindon, Avebury village shop or online at www.prospect-hospice.net/aveburyrocks. Adults pay £25, under 14’s are half price and under 5’s are free.

This is the second Avebury Rocks event. Last year it raised over £30,000 for Prospect Hospice at Wroughton. This year profits will support Prospect Hospice again and also CALM a children’s cancer and leukaemia charity based in Swindon.

The event is jointly organized by members of Marlborough and Swindon Thamesdown Rotary Clubs, Love Hope Strength Foundation, the National Trust, Prospect Hospice, Friends of the Ridgeway and Avebury residents.

AVEBURY SET TO REALLY ROCK

Diamond jubilee celebrations will be held throughout the district.

The Adviser next week, May 25 will publish a special advertising feature on What’s On for the Jubilee.

COLLEGE DEVELOPMENT DELAYEDHungerford’s John O’Gaunt Community Technology College expansion plans have received a set-back through lack of funding and the project is on hold until 2013/14 fi nancial year. The school is planning a music, drama, learning resource centre and sixth form facilities.THERE’S A RUN AFOOTPlans are under way for a Hungerford run as part of HADCAF. Cr Benneyworth told the Hungerford Town Council’s recreation, amenities and war memorials committee hat the run would receive publicity.

CHAMBER TO HELP WITH CARNIVALHungerford chamber of Commerce is expected to take over running Hungerford’s annual carnival.Hungerford Round Tble told a recent chamber meet-ing that Round Table no longer had the manpower or resources to organise and run the carnival.Chamber chairman Nigel Perrin told the meeting that Neale Marney had agreed to chair a carnival com-mittee comprising members of Round Table and the chamber.Concern has been expressed that the carnival dates may clash with the Marlborough Jazz Festival which drws many people from Hungerford.

CHURCH APPLICATION RECOMMENDEDHungerford Town council’s environment and plan-ning committee on Monday recommended that there be no objection to an application to renew planning permission for Our Lady of Lourdes church and 14 residential units. The committee voted 4/3 after dis-cussion was held on the committee’s original objec-tion based on parking and the size and concentration of units.

HOLDING THEIR HEADS HIGHThe team from Perfectly Posh Hair Design are holding their perfectly styled heads high after a trip to the English Hair & Beauty Awards, where they might not have won, but were the only salon to reach the fi nals in four categories.“We were in amazing company,” said owner Krysia Eddery. “It was an incredible event at the Midland Hotel in Manchester and the awards went to well-known salons which were much bigger than Perfectly Posh and considering it was the votes of our client’s that led us to the fi nal we are still very proud.“Those votes also saw the salon reach an unrivalled four of 14 categories in the fi nal – Hair Salon of the Year, Women’s Stylist of the Year, Junior Stylist of the Year and Colour Technician of the Year. No other salon achieved this!“It has been great for business too, we have had so many new customers coming in since we were nominated and they all mention the English Hair & Beauty Awards; this has led to us taking on new, bigger premises in Hungerford sooner than expected.

“We are moving just a few doors up Hungerford High Street in September and the new salon will be fi tted out in the coming months and will see us more than double in size, from four chairs to nine – and this is happening sooner because of the support of our clients sending us to the premier hair and beauty awards.”Pic: Krysia Eddery (far right) pictured with the Perfectly Posh team at the English Hair and Beauty Awards.
