Rusby is making a few carefully selected appearances bringing her engaging Yorkshire wit and magical singing to the opening night.

Chas and Dave have won over audiences of young and old during their career which began back in the 70s and their songs including Rabbit and Gertcha have become household names.

The three larger than life acts will kick off the three nights of live music making this the third year of Abbeyfest success.
