The umpteenth Country Music Festival that I attended at
the PRESTATYN was at the 'Prestatyn Sands' site was back in 1984
It ran for a week, their normal way of doing things, and this was from
5th-12th May '84 .
There were many performers, at a phenomenally economic
entrance fee (thanks to the 'vision' of the late Bob Chappell).

A whole week here costs less than a day at Wembley!!
Apart from the musical attractions (my main reason for going) there were
many other attractions like:-
Country Music quizzes
Talent competitions
Country Dancing
Fast-draw competitions
Square Dancing
Country Music Films
and much more!!!
Performers appearing were:
Shackband
Brian Golbey & Pete Stanley
Bluegrass Jet Set
Hickory Lake
Jon Derek

Campbells Country
Buckskin
Ian Ashcroft (our DJ extra-ordinaire)
POACHER
COTTON MILL BOYS
Tammy Jones
CLOVIS

Ann Coates Band
TONY GOODACRE SHOW

Neville King
DAVE CURTIS
Ramrod (Trev's Solo Spot!)
The Kay Adams Show
West Texas Session Band
Pete Kane
Station Break
Johnny Spencer
Iona & Andy (a HIGHLIGHT!)

Randy Wade
WEST VIRGINIA
The DUFFY BROTHERS
Joe Sun and Solar System (a bit too heavy!!)
The Cliffsons
BOB McKINLAY & DIXIE FRIED
That was sure "one hell of a line-up" - and was the continuation of a
decade with my support.
