TRUCK is not the only musical institution based in Steventon - the village is also home to broadcasting legend Bob Harris.

This year we are delighted to announce that the Sunday at Truck will feature 'Bob Harris Presents' on the Market Stage, with an amazing bill of Americana, Folk and Country acts. As well as introducing the artists, Bob will briefly interview them live onstage before they play. In Bob's own words-

"Truck is my local festival- I've been there right from the first year, it's got a wonderful atmosphere and I'm thrilled to be a part of it this year."

WEEKEND TICKETS for TRUCK are still available, priced £70 including camping.

If you'd just like to come for the day, a limited number of SUNDAY TICKETS are now available, priced £40. Outlets: www.wegottickets.com / www.gigantic.com / www.seetickets.com / local shops

Here's the bill, and Bob's comments on each artist-

"I've always loved the Jayhawks and I am so pleased to see Gary & Mark working together again.

Their performance will be one of the highlights of the day."

"I first saw them at SXSW in 1999, continuing the tradition of the great Texan Western bands. Their recent session on ‘Bob Harris Country’ was a sensation."

"I first heard Mike Heron making beautiful music with the Incredible String Band when they were on Elektra in the late 1960’s. Mike is an artist in the true tradition of Truck festival."

"From the Damaged Goods roster, Pete is a young country blues genius from the Medway delta. He looks good and sounds great."

"One of Britain's finest singer-songwriters, Angie is a regular on my Radio 2 Saturday show. She is a trooper…and there’s no greater compliment than that."

"From the early days of Grand Drive to the recent e.p. by the Champions of the World, I've played Danny's music many times on my Radio 2 shows. He defines the term ‘ragged glory."

"When Paul Megna sent me a copy of ‘Harmony Hand Grenade’ I immediately loved the bleak beauty of it…jaded but hopeful, articulate and compelling."

"It is an honor to have Eliza Gilkyson onstage with me at Truck Fest. She is one of my favourite writers and is true Austin, Texas musical royalty.”

About Bob:

Bob Harris is a legend, pure and simple.

Few people have broken as many bands into the mainstream consciousness as Bob Harris…through his work on Radio 1, the legendary ‘Whistle Test’ TV shows and his current programmes on Radio 2. He is passionate about music and his infectious enthusiasm permeates his work. Bob’s guiding principle is the pursuit of excellence, and this is reflected in his broadcasting skills and his devotion to the best music.
