Tickets are now on sale for Pickering Folk Festival on 8, 9 and 10 August with 40 of the biggest and best acts in the world of folk music playing on two stages.
Cara Dillon, Luka Bloom, Coope Boyes and Simpson, Last Night's Fun, Chris Difford of Squeeze, The Demon Barber Roadshow and highly-rated guitarist Johnny Dickinson are just some of the names appearing over the weekend.
And musicians from the Whitby area are represented too with the Eliza Carthy Band, Martin Carthy and Dave Swarbrick and Steve Phillips and The Rough Diamonds all securing prime spots on the main stage.
But the real coup for The Events Office was to be able to put number one chart toppers The Waterboys, Eddi Reader and Nizlopi at the top of the bill on each day.
Now in their silver jubilee year, The Waterboys have been at the forefront of many styles of music over the years thanks to the ever-changing mood of their perennial front man Mike Scott.
From the huge stadium rock sound of their best selling 1985 album This Is The Sea to their dalliance with Irish traditional music on the album Fisherman's Blues, Mike Scott has kept the band at the top of their game with floods of new fans hooking up every year.
Most people will know the classics The Whole Of The Moon and Fisherman's Blues but with a wealth of material to call upon from his 13 studio albums, Scott will have no problem keeping punters rocking in the aisles on the Friday night.
A more sedate affair can be expected on Saturday evening when Eddi Reader takes centre stage with her band of talented musicians.
Best known in her early days for being lead singer with Fairground Attraction and their number one single Perfect, Reader has matured into one of the most beautiful singers in Britain today.
The closing act sees Nizlopi headlining the main stage at the festival on Sunday.
Famed for their 2005 number one single The JCB song, the two lads cracked the charts, netting 400,000 sales in Britain and Ireland alone.
One hit wonders they certainly are not – Luke Concannon and John Parker's soulful vocals, superb guitar and double bass playing and the odd human beatbox thrown in is guaranteed to keep everyone happy for the final hour-and-a-half on Sunday evening.
Throughout the weekend there will be a host of other events including children's entertainment, circus skills workshops, face painting, ceilidhs, morris dancing, a large trade and craft fair, catering outlets and a beer tent run by Cropton Brewery where some of the funniest people on the folk scene including the inimitable Les Barker will keep everyone amused.
A variety of ticket options are available. Full weekend tickets are priced £65 adults, youths (14-18) £35 and under 14s free with full weekend adults only.
