Following a blistering show in 2006, the main stage at Summer Sundae will be opened this year by The Displacements.
Darren Knockles, Director of the Musician commented "For many people, The Musician stage is one of the highlights of the festival, so we are delighted to have secured a line-up that showcases such a superb range of artists. The bill ranges from Americana and blues right through to a rare appearance by the legendary punk poet John Cooper Clarke and we confidently expect this year will be the best yet."
