Punk legends Buzzcocks to top bill at Earth Fair

PUNK legends Buzzcocks will headline this year's Vale Earth Fair, it has been announced.

Buzzcocks have an illustrious career, which includes picking up a Mojo Inspiration award in 2006 and having the popular BBC quiz show, Never Mind the Buzzcocks, named partly after them.

They have also been cited as inspirational by the likes of REM, Nirvana and Green Day.

'It will be an event not to be missed,' said Vale Earth Fair Collective member Rob Roussel.

'Buzzcocks are one of the few bands performing today that genuinely deserve legendary status and having them on stage in the Vale Castle will be fantastic.'
