We kick off the 2018 Party in the Paddock Festival with The Wonky Donkeys, a top local band with a great sound and a well-deserved strong following as they always entertain, they will play all of your favourites and are the perfect band to get this party started or should we say Rocking!

Then we have Dirty DC, the country's top AC/DC tribute band, they have played at major venues all over Europe and they are driving a long way especially to play for us. You will know song after song, you will have to sing along, and we will all rock! We will be Back in Black! Friday night at Party in the Paddock will live long in your memory!

The Live and Loud Wimborne 2018 Winners! This year we have worked closely with the Folk Festival promoters and we are so pleased to have the best of local talent on our stage this afternoon

Pronghorn, the name and the sound are legendary. This is the band that really put Wimborne's Folk Festival on the map as a band / party venue. When all is said and done you cannot beat pure talent, class and tradition, this is what this lot are bringing. Cowpunk at its finest, the coolest way to spend any afternoon, bring it on!

Ratrace of course! The Party in the Paddock Legends! We love them and they love us! They take their traditional and eagerly anticipated place on our stage and we will all dance until the sun goes down. We know what we are going to get, all the Ska tunes you know and want to hear, it makes us smile and we all bounce around!

Supreme Queen, Check this lot out on their website www.supremequeen.co.uk this is the best Queen act currently touring and you lucky people get the chance to experience them! You will know all of the songs and you will sing along, we'rre singing along now just thinking about it! we're still singing - what's your favourite? It will be a sell-out, it will be magnificent! We can't wait!

You might be feeling a little jaded on Sunday following two great days but man up, wise up and get on down to the Paddock, make the most of it whilst it's happening.

If you follow music in the South West then you know all about Lady Winwood's Maggot, they style their sound as Death Western, which makes it sound far blacker than it is! They fuse traditional American and Irish music and present it with a touch of punk! Their music seems to grind its way into your soul. They have played for us before they are always top quality, they bring their own fan club with them and it is great to welcome them all back to the Paddock!

Black Water County, my how they have grown! "smashing their way into the UK folk punk scene since 2013, BWC bring an energetic live show of stout quaffing, banjo breaking and tin whistle mangling original music, along with trads and shanties that have been given a good kick up the arse and a slap around the face" to quote one writeup! A local band who return to headline our Sunday Finale. They have built up a massive following and a strong reputation, they have put the hours in and toured nationally to great acclaim, we are going to finish Party in the Paddock 2018 in fine style! Make sure that you are there, as there is a whole 12 months before we can do this again!
