Welshpool Music Festival

What's it all about?

Welshpool Music Festival is a new concept as far as festivals go, encompassing not only the two Town hall stages, but also uses all the towns pubs as different venues each of which hosts a different style of music over a three day period, eg The Crown-Folk Music, The Talbot-Reggae, The Westwood-Dance & Ska, The Pheasant-Rock etc. We also have back to back music all day long, band/solo artist on two stages from mid-day to mid night. We have street entertainers, buskers, stalls, all day open mic in the market hall, everything is indoors so no mud or rain to worry about, we are family/child friendly, we book a complete diverse array of music to cater for all tastes.

Last year we charged just £6.00 for the whole day! (how much you would normally pay for just one of the bands attending!) We have choirs, we encorage children and adults with learning difficulties to become involved, there is no age discrimination 0-199yrs are welcome to perform. We hold talent contests and battle of the bands through all the local schools.

Our aim is to provide a comprehensive bank holiday weekend of entertainment to suit every age group and every style, the seed was planted last year and now we watch to see it grow into something totally unique placing Mid Wales and Welshpool firmly onto the musical map. Come and join us, relax and have fun and remember, Monday is also the towns carnival day. Please contact me for futher details. Many thanks, Kuldip (project co-ordinator)
