AMERICAN legend Mary Chapin Carpenter will descend on Cawthorne this summer to headline a music festival in the village.

Underneath the Stars Festival will see the US songwriting legend lead the line-up at its second annual event, which will be held at Cannon Hall Farm between July 24 and 26.

This year the stellar line-up includes Eddi Reader, formerly of Fairground Attraction; Philip Selway (Radiohead) in an intimate singer-songwriter setting; Molotov Jukebox with their tropical-gypsy-dance sound fronted by Natalia Tena, of Harry Potter and Game of Thrones fame.
