TICKETS for the Wiltshire festival at Lydiard Park are selling fast after the news that The Commitments have been added to the bill, which also features boy band Blue and R and B singer Jamelia.

The nine-piece soul band will be flying in from Dublin on Saturday, August 28 to perform songs made famous by the 1991 film which gives the band their name, including Mustang Sally, Try A Little Tenderness and In The Midnight Hour.

Event promoter Neil Cooper, of Minety, who is putting his own money into the event, said: "The festival has given me a few sleepless nights, but news that the tickets are selling well is great."

To get a ticket, log onto www.thisiswiltshire.co.uk, or visit the Evening Advertiser offices in Victoria Road, Old Town and the Tourist Information Centre in Regent Street.

Tickets are £24 for adults, £12 for children and free for under threes until May 31. On the gate they will be £35.
