Well, I wake up in the mornin’
feel so sick down to my shoes,
the box-office is jumpin’,
I got the Stage 4 Beverley Blues.
I got the blues
I got those February Festival blues,
I better pay my dues
I got those Stage 4 Beverley Blues.
So, all the venues will be buzzin’
and rockin’ to tunes old and new,
I’ll be shakin’ my booty
at the New York Brass Band too.
And after all the events have finished
don’t go down the pub,
when you can kick back with a beer or two,
at the Late-Night Festival Club
I got the blues
I got those syncopation blues,
don’t step on my blue suede shoes
(is the King here?) I got those Stage 4 Beverley Blues.
Now, I’ve been to Glastonbury,
Download and Tribfest too,
but I tell ya Stage 4 Beverley,
I keep a coming back to you…
and it’s not just about the line-ups
the fantastic acts you choose,
no, it’s also because you continue to have…
spotless festival loos!
I got the blues
those sweet jelly-roll blues,
have you heard the news?
I got those Stage 4 Beverley Blues.
Everybody’s clamoring
For Beverley Community Choir
plus Dankworth, Cambo and Bilston,
this festival’s on fire!
And I’m inspired by all this eclectic stuff
I’ll be attending the Harmony Singing Class,
I’m told I can hold a pretty good note…
more like a cat clawing broken glass.
I got those blues
I got those convoluted, rhyming blues,
I hope I’ve lit your fuse?
Now you can get the Stage 4 Beverley Blues.
So, finally,
as you navigate the upcoming festival,
just you remember this sad old blues boy
who’s got those…
Amazing headliners
and talented songwriters,
spoken word
that’s what I’ve heard.
Tickets I’ll be jugglin’
to see the Saltburn Smugglin’,
Nagasaka and Killen
will get us all chillin’.
The Horizon Stage,
that’s gonna engage,
from poetry to page
it’s all the rage.
Danny Bradley guitar pluckin’
Charlotte Carrivick bluegrass truckin’,
Gary Stewarts Graceland singin’,
Sea Shanty swingin’…
Yes, I think you know by now,
I got those blues,
I got those,
Stage 4 Beverley Blues.

The Late Night Festival Club provides the chance to chill out with some great music, great beer and good company with festival artists. As always our Late Night Festival Clubs offer the chance to relax after a day or evening of music in a more informal atmosphere.
Including Maddie Morris, The Nick Rooke Band and Chris Sewart
Maddie Morris is an artist who strives to make a difference in the world. Bold, insightful, and refreshingly unique, they take traditional song in new directions to shine a light on contemporary issues, offering new perspectives on the world we live in today.
Winner of the BBC Radio 2 Young Folk Award, Maddie has been described by Jim Moray as “leading the next generation of socially conscious songwriters.” Their music explores the way personal narratives in song can hold political importance. Folk songs have always told stories, but Maddie makes their mark by turning storytelling into action.
The Nick Rooke Band - Nick Rooke, Paul Blackburn & Lisa Wastling
Nick Rooke plays original music across many genres with an incredible repertoire and flexibility. Together Nick, Paul and Lisa play Nick’s own music and also traditional Irish Folk. An evening with them is a truly interactive experience!
Chris Sewart our Festival Poet will join us at the Late Night Club with some of his workshop participants and share some new poetry with us.
