A huge thank you to all four of our fantastic acts who made the 2026 event so memorable

Lewes Rock Choir

Award-winning national phenomenon, Rock Choir was the first contemporary choir of its kind — offering an accessible, inclusive experience for amateur singers. With over 33,000 members across 400+ local communities, they brought an uplifting spirit of fun, friendship and community to the Paddock. Thank you!

Lewes Glynde and Beddingham Brass

Lewes Glynde & Beddingham Brass

LGB Brass is based at the All Saints Centre in Lewes — a traditional brass band with a wide-ranging repertoire. From traditional marches to virtuosic solos, orchestral transcriptions and pop songs, they never fail to delight. A wonderful addition to the 2026 line-up — thank you!

Schools Out

Schools Out

School's Out is a covers band based in the South of England, made up entirely of teachers. With vibrant energy and spot-on performances, they brought new life to classic hits and took the crowd on a joyful trip down memory lane. A brilliant set — thank you!

Fat Belly Jones — an 8, 9 or even 10-piece band from the Brighton area — closed the evening in style with SKA, SOUL and everything in between. The perfect way to round off a brilliant night in the Paddock. Thank you!
