Yorkshire favourites The Chris Berry Band will also feature, bringing a mix of upbeat covers and original material.

Both bands will showcase songs from their recently-released albums, Colour My Mind and Long Hard Road, respectively.

Dairy farmer and festival organiser George Ross said: “FarmFest is growing bigger each year and we have even more fabulous bands and solo performers this time.

“We’re keen to improve in every way and bringing recording artists The Dunwells and The Chris Berry Band — and having a second stage — is all very exciting.”
