    The success of Ripon's Rock for St Wilfrid Concert in Minster Gardens has prompted organisers to call for an encore.

    An estimated 500 people turned up on Saturday evening to hear four acts, including rock band Time Machine in which Kevin Hill is a vocalist and plays bass guitar.

    Mr Hill, who owns the Karma clothing and gift boutique in Kirkgate with his wife Liz, told the Stray Ferret:

    "It was the ideal location for a summer concert and we're now considering a follow-up for the August Bank Holiday and have ideas for further musical and cultural events to be staged here next spring."

    The event arranged at short notice in liaison with the St Wilfrid's Procession Committee and Ripon Business Improvement District, was supported with a grant of £829 from North Yorkshire Council which also gave permission for use of the public open space.

    Mr Hill said:

    "Thanks to cooperation from all parties, we were able to hold a family-focused evening of entertainment in this lovely setting.
    "It attracted a large crowd and those who attended showed great respect by leaving the gardens litter free."




    In addition to Time Machine (pictured above) the evening also featured local singer-songwriter Alannah Creed, harp player Lucinda Taylor and Knaresborough Vista Social Club.
