Pickering’s own fun-loving trio Different State brought a raft of their favourite originals bands from up and down the country to The Rose Inn for Beckfest on August Bank Holiday Weekend.

We sent along photographer Tim Bruce to capture some of the action.

Rudeface

A five piece grunge band from Scotland’s East Coast.

Ten Eighty Trees

Dungaree-loving Newcastle rock band.

Weirdwolf

Scunthorpe rock band.

Different State

Umm, who are these guys again? 

Festival organisers, Sam, Lucas and Ted are three Yorkshire lads exploiting the dilemmas of life through full-fat alt-rock instead of therapy; and a fine job they do on all counts.

Dr Savage

Manchester based Dr Savage, aka Jeremy Lindeman, and band, bring groove and rock.
