PREPARATION work for the Buckingham Summer Festival is underway with a number of talented acts already lined up.
The event will run from July 5 to 12 at a number of venues around the town, with artists both local and from around the country already confirming their places.
The highlight this year will be a performance from ex-Faces member Ian Mclagan.
This year will be the 20th anniversary for the festival and entertainment will include the Haddenham Hoofers Appalachian Dance Troupe on July 5, Northumbrian pipes with the Kathryn Tickell Band on July 9, and the Beethoven Violin Concerto with soloist Nadia Wijzenbeek on July 12.
Other events proposed include a British Trust for Conservation Volunteers wildlife photography exhibition, a comedy night, and a six-piece ceilidh band.
