Hobble on the Cobbles – best year yet….

…as the “Goo” Times rolled..!

Sunday 23 August saw Aylesbury town centre come alive once again, as, for the fourth consecutive year Aylesbury Showcase organised and promoted their annual Hobble on the Cobbles festival – which has been dubbed “the largest free all-day music festival in Buckinghamshire”.

‘Local band’ (originally from Leighton Buzzard) Kajagoogoo headlined the event in front of several thousand screaming fans, giving Aylesbury yet another major coup, as the original 5-piece had recently reformed after a break of 25 years.

A new album will be released shortly, and their first tour in 25 years starts next month.

Organiser and managing director of local events company Aylesbury Showcase Stuart Robb explains; “we’ve all worked extremely hard this year organising Hobble on the Cobbles – which we do for the people of Aylesbury, and on behalf of the Town Centre Partnership. We have a fabulous team, and once again Class Act produced and ran both the main stage and acoustic stage in Market Square for us – as they always do such a terrific job”.

Stuart continues “…the sound was, once again absolutely fantastic, the whole day, and the atmosphere was electric with excitement, and this is probably the best year yet, as the whole day seemed to gel well, and just flow, both with the organisation and management, and with the variety of specially selected and chosen music and bands, and once again Hobble on the Cobbles was a trouble-free event”.
