ABOUT

The Yarchesters are an experienced 4 piece rock/pop band playing classic songs from the 1960's/70's to the present day. Our set is flexible to suit the occasion but normally lasts 2 hours. We play mainly private functions, parties, weddings, charity events and festivals.
In 2012 we headlined at the Astley Abbots Jubilee celebrations in Shropshire playing to 400.
In 2014 we headlined at The Shropshire Young Farmers Association Summer Ball at Ludlow Race Course playing to 500.
In 2016 we headlined at the Shifnal Carnival.
Between 2014-19 we headlined at the Wrekin Beer Festival.
After a 7 year hiatus the band will be back in 2026!
