Rosalie Cunningham announced for Summer's End Festival

Psych prog rocker Rosalie Cunningham has been announced on the bill for this year's Summer's End Progressive Rock Festival in Chepstow.

She'll be appearing on the Saturday at the four-day event which runs from October 3-6, which is headlined by Swedish prog rockers Moon Safari. Also appearing on the bill are Cyan, Simon Godfrey and Friends, Magic Pie, Guy Manning, Hayley Griffiths Band, Coma Rossi, Storm Deva and more.

Former Genesis tour manager Richard Macphail will also now be appearing at the event, discussing his days tour managing Genesis, and telling stories from his acclaimed My Book Of Genesis.

"We are thrilled to announce that the final main-set slot will be taken by Rosalie Cunningham, who will bring her unique and entertaining brand of psych-influenced prog to Chepstow," say the organisers.
