There’s another reason to visit the BEACHED music festival in Scarborough this August – you’ll be helping British Forces charities.

It’s not just sun, sand and great bands, this year BEACHED has teamed up with BFBS - British Forces Radio and TV - to support the BFBS Big Salute and raise money for five Forces charities helping those who have served their country and been seriously injured or carry other less visible scars.

BFBS staff and Forces personnel will be selling wristbands and rattling collecting buckets across the four days, but the main focus will be the Friday night Big Salute at Beached event, with BFBS Radio DJs, back from broadcasting to Forces in Iraq, MC-ing the night. Bands who are giving their time for free in order to support the troops include the Mexicolas, High Priests, The Domino State, Joanne Ramsay, and Iraq’n’Roll - a band formed on ops in Iraq, are getting back together from all over the world to play.

Helen Williams, Controller of BFBS TV said: “When the organisers of BEACHED contacted us saying they wanted to join forces and support our Big Salute campaign, we were delighted.”
