It was in May 1965 that the Beatles famously spent two days at Cliveden while filming scenes for the film Help!, so it was appropriate that the second day of the festival featured tribute act The Bandit Beatles.
A family-orientated festival featuring tribute bands The Strolling Bones, ZU2, the Bandit Beatles and The Magic of Abba, ending with a spectacular firework finale, Cliveden Rocks saw Star Events Group provide a Morbit stage for the bands to play on.
"This is the first rock / pop event that Cliveden has hosted," says the National Trust's Richard Jordan-Baker. "But I have worked with Star Events Group many times in the past and they were the natural choice."
"From our first site visit, we identified that the client would need to remove part of a post and rail fence, but deploying the stage on a relatively tight site was the main challenge," says Jane Russen, Star Events group director of mobile sales. "We still had to utilise the rear steering of our specialist delivery vehicle, which enables the stage to get in to many locations a normal trailer couldn't. It made Morbit ideal for the job"
