BOSSES at The Acoustic Music Centre at St Bride’s report a rush to the box-office.
Sales for the venue are nearly 24 per cent ahead of the equivalent date last summer.
John Barrow, the organiser, said: “This is a significant figure given that we are in the grips of a recession.”
The AMC at St Bride’s presents nearly 70 acts over the three week Festival from Monday, August 8.
Among the top names are Benny Gallagher, formerly of Gallagher and Lyle, and world-famous guitarist, Preston Reed.
International acts include those from Hong Kong, Spain and Slovenia.
Mr Barrow added: “We are pleased to report that a number of the bookings are repeat customers from previous years.
“They like what they see and are confident in coming back for more.”
