Formed in 2009, these school friends turned party legends have dominated the local pub scene and lit up events from weddings to festivals.

Get ready to sing, dance, and rock out – audience participation isn’t just encouraged; it’s essential!

Early evening acoustic set
Raven Aisling Music
Raven Aisling Music is our acoustic duo for our early evening slot at #GreystokeBeerFestival on Friday and Saturday nights once again. When they debuted last year the feedback was amazing – how could we not ask them back again? These two very talented young musicians, Raven Aisling and Mark Stewart, are making a name for themselves playing at venues in Penrith and Newcastle. Raven has the most amazing voice, as you’ll know from last year!

Food from NEAUM
We’re delighted to have food from NEAUM at this year’s Greystoke Beer Festival once again.
On Friday evening, NEAUM will be serving a choice of butter chicken curry or vegan curry, served with rice, naan, raita and chutneys – perfect festival food to enjoy with your beer.
On Saturday, the menu switches to BBQ foot-long Cumberland hot dogs in brioche buns, topped with crispy onions and served with seasonal slaw, potato salad, ketchup and mustard. Vegan option available. Please pre-order food when purchasing festival tickets.
Thank You to our Sponsors
We really couldn’t run the beer festival without sponsorship – so thank you to all the amazing local firms who have coughed up cold, hard cash to sponsor a barrel, some wine, and provide the food, and to Sue Dowie – sponsoring as an individual! #Community
