Brighouse
 

Brighouse & Rastrick may currently be concentrating their contesting efforts on winning the European Championships in Lille this weekend, but they have also announced that they wil appear at two of Europe's largest motor car festivals — performing at the CarFest events in Hampshire and Cheshire.

Following their recent appearance on the BBC 1 prime time 'The One Show', (above) the host and Radio2 DJ Chris Evans booked the band for the immensely popular festival later this summer.

Top Gear

CarFest presents an amazing family orientated mix of music, cars and fun and has been the brainchild of Chris who is a renowned 'petrol head' and the new host of the BBC's flagship motor show 'Top Gear'.

The band will line up alongside acts such as the Stereophonics, The Corrs, James Morrison, KT Tunstall, The Proclaimers and Rick Astley.
