FESTIVAL goers have been rocking the weekend away at Ramsbottom’s Head for the Hills.
After a rainy start on Friday bad weather held off for most of the festival, allowing music lovers to enjoy the likes of Maximo Park, The Stranglers and folk singer Beth Orton.
Crowds of around 10,000 people were expected to pack into the Ramsbottom Cricket Club ground for the event. 

Among the excited audiences were mother and daughter Liz and Jasmine Templeman, who had tickets for all three days and were making their first trip to the festival.
Mum Liz, aged 52, said: “We have never really got around to coming previously but I am so glad that we finally decided to.
“Jasmine has just finished her GCSEs and did really well so I bought her a ticket as a reward.
“We think it has been just fabulous so far. The Baghdaddies were amazing and are our favourites so far.”
Jasmine, aged 16, who plays several musical instruments in brass bands at the weekend and was awarded an A* in her GCSE music exam, said: “Coming here has given me a taste of other kinds of music and kind of broadened my horizons.
“I love playing in my brass band and really want to stay in music in the future so coming here has given me some ideas. There is even a tent here where you can just go in with your musical instrument and jam along with everyone.”
Liz added that she would recommend the festival to her friends, especially those with children.
She said: “I have been quite surprised at how big the operation is here but at the same time it is just the right size and you feel really safe.
“People who come here can definitely get involved in the different activities going on here more than they could do at a bigger festival.
“Ramsbottom is a small place but has lots of good things going for it. We will definitely be coming again next year.”
Another happy festival goer is Connor McNicholas from the up and coming Indie band the Dantevilles, who performed on the Hills Stage.
Connor, lead singer of the band, said: “It’s our first time at Head for the Hills and to be honest, I did not expect it to be this good and to be treated this well by everyone.
“There is a real family orientated feel to the festival which fits in well with the surroundings.”
The band, who hail from Levenshulme, ended their summer of festivals this weekend after playing at other larger ones like Kendal Calling and the Isle Of Wight Festival.
Connor said: “We have just signed with a record label so watch this space.”
