NEVILLE Staple of ska band The Specials will headline this year's Jurassic Fields festival.

The community family-friendly music festival is set to return to Asker Meadow in Bridport on July 14 and 15 with more than 40 bands and performers.

There will also be a wide range of food and craft stalls and an ever-growing kids' area.

The fun begins on Friday night with headliners including Stereoironcs and Smith and Mighty, whilst Saturday’s all day festival sees Neville, the 'Original Rude Boy’ of the Specials, headlining the evening’s main stage, with festival heavyweights Laid Blak the main act on the big top stage.

Other artists that you will also be able to see include Willie and the Bandits, British Folk pioneer Steve Knightley of Show Of Hands, Radio 1 favourites Sound of The Sirens, The Undercover Hippy, and back by popular demand, Mr B the Gentlemen Rhymer.
