IF there’s a Red Sky at night its bound to mean an evening of great music.

This musical trio with a phenomenal pedigree, has just been announced as the support act for Jools Holland’s show at Somerset Rocks in August.

Red Sky is made up of husband and wife duo Ally McErlaine (guitarist in 15 million-selling band Texas) and Shelly Poole (previously one half of million-selling duo Alisha’s Attic) along with former model, Charity Hair (The Alice Band and latterly The Ailerons, with Blur’s Dave Rowntree).

They will open for Mr J Holland at the outdoor show at Vivary Park on Sunday, August 28. 

Somerset Rocks will host three shows in Vivary Park, featuring three different artists over the August bank holiday weekend.

Status Quo will perform on the first night , Friday 26, Will Young will take to the stage on Saturday August 27 and Jools Holland will play on Sunday 28. 

Red Sky July formed in 2009 and since then they have achieved great success with two albums under their belt and their third, The Truth and the Lie just released, as well as consummate live performances. 

Ally McErlaine of Red Sky July, said: “Jools Holland is a music legend so we’re absolutely delighted to be supporting his show and being part of Somerset Rocks, a unique music event.

“We can’t wait to perform outdoors at Vivary Park in Taunton and share some of our favourite material from our catalogue of songs. It’s going to be a night to remember.”

Ann Lee, chief executive of St. Margaret’s Hospice, said: “Red Sky July are yet another outstanding addition to the line-up for Somerset Rocks. We’re really excited that they will be performing ahead of Jools Holland and his Rhythm and Blues Orchestra under the night sky in Vivary Park.

“Somerset Rocks is such a fantastic way to raise awareness of St. Margaret’s Hospice, while enjoying such renowned artists. The three day event is shaping up really well, with tickets for all three shows continuing to sell well.”
