Abandcalledjack are all set to shine at Wellifest

Abandcalledjack

The eagerly-awaited community charity music event Wellifest features another cracking line-up of talent again this year.

Manchester Ska Foundation, Foo Fighterz and Hoi Polloi will be many festival-goers' favourites, while Abandcalledjack are also looking forward to lighting up the stage on Saturday, June 24 at Well-i-Hole Farm in Greenfield.

Wellifest will run alongside the Saddleworth Show, which takes place on Sunday, June 25, at the farm.

Abandcalledjack are an unsigned five piece band from Manchester, who play melodic indie folk rock music.

They were formed in 2010. 

The band - Mark Caldwell (vocals), Matt Brookes (guitar/vocals), Adie Whyatt (guitar), Neil Armstrong (bass) and Miguel Boleta (drums) - have supported some legendary outfits in the past, including the Chameleons, Big Country and Paolo Nutini.

In 2018 they released their debut album, Running Through Your Head, while their first single, 'Kiss Me', reached number nine in the singer/songwriter charts.

Abandcalledjack will hit the Wellifest stage at 4.35pm on the day of the festival.

Speaking on behalf of the Saddleworth Show organising committee, co-chairs Frank Bolger and Clint Elliott, said: “We are confident 2023 will be the biggest and best events we have ever staged. 

“Many more local good causes and charities will benefit once again from the hard work. 

“The funds raised in 2022 helped hundreds of families struggling in these difficult times, and hopefully 2023 will allow this support to continue and even increase in the year.”
