There was another great turnout as Blyth beach was once again transformed into the county’s biggest free family festival.

The Liberty X, who originally appeared on the TV programme ‘Popstars’, and 911 bands were the headline acts to wow the crowds on Saturday.

In support will be Rula, Ana Munoz Duo, Emerald Thieves, Just So, Khalysis and 5K, and there were also performances from the Linsey School of Dance, Bede Academy Choir and Community Voices.

As well as the musical attractions, the Blyth Live Festival had street theatre, a bar, food from the county’s finest suppliers, a fun fair and a family activity area.

The event would not have been possible without the support of Blyth Town Council.

Blyth’s Mayor, Coun Warren Taylor, said: “It was wonderful to see thousands of smiling faces enjoying our Blyth Live music festival. I’d like to thank all of the performers for making it such a special event.

“This type of event takes months of planning and I’d like to thank Julie Summers, Blyth Town Council’s events co-ordinator, and her team for organising the whole event.”
