Four residents have banded together to bring back a popular music festival after a three-year hiatus.

Bearsted’s Music On The Green event stopped in 2013 after a 12-year run but is set to make a return on the August Bank Holiday weekend.

Local artists, including Starks Family Band, The Mofos and The Kick Backs, have already been confirmed, with KM readers’ help needed to fill the final slot.

Four local acts – Brooke Sylvia, Thomas Ashby, White Heat and Rosie Pennie – have been shortlisted from 30 applicants and a vote is now open.

Thomas Ashby, from Herne Bay, has been supported by BBC Introducing and Pixie Lott. The singer/songwriter performs a blend of folk, blues and jazz. What started as a small following in local bars, is expanding. Listen here.

Rosie Pennie is a 19-year-old singer/songwriter from Bearsted - raised in a musical family she is influenced by jazz, soul and rock, which is now reflected in her songwriting - some of her music can be heard by clicking here.

White Heat are a rock band from Maidstone who formed in early 2015. They are four passionate musicians with influences such as The Beatles, The Strokes and The Smiths. Their music can be heard here.

The final act is self-taught guitarist and unsigned solo artist, Brooke Sylvia, 21, from Sidcup. Check out a video of her here.

More than a third of the 4,000 tickets on offer for the one-day festival, which runs from 12pm-9.30pm, have already been sold.

The driving force behind the revival is the team at Bearsted Events, made up of Jo Conner, Ruth Corney, William Wood and Craig Bennett, who all have experience in arranging events and organise what’s on in the village.

The community interest company is not for profit and raises money for charities as well as groups and associations in the area.

Jo Conner, chairman of Bearsted Events, said it’s was a task to arrange but they are happy to be bringing it back.

She said: “We’ve all put in a huge amount of work and it’s been a bit of a stressful time – but it is exciting.

“Thankfully we have had a huge amount of support from around the village, it’ll take a long time to get everything in place but we’re sure it will be worth it.”

It was originally stopped by the parish council after becoming the victim of its own success – with a change of health and safety regulations it became difficult to accommodate the crowd.

Voting for the final act closed on KentOnline by 5pm on Friday, February 19.
