Preston Guild's G-Fest
Photograpic report by Dan Archer

PRESTON Guild is a historic celebration dating back to 1179 and this year it was held again. The Guild is the only Guild still celebrated in the UK and as such is unique. It is only celebrated once every 20 years and this was the first time it was held in Preston, with it having the title City. The last few events for the 2012 Guild took place over the 8 September and 9 September 2012 and thousands attended events through out the City. We had the pleasure of covering a day long party on the Saturday in Avenham Park, called G-Fest. This was a music event with many some of Britain's biggest Urban and Soul Artists took to the stage, like Angel and the feisty R&B girl group Stooshe. Sadly former N-Dubz fron-man Dappy could not attended in the end. Well done to all who put the Preston Guild on and, as with Liverpool's Capital of Culture, we hope it lets Preston have a long lasting legacy from this historic year.
