the third one

we even had sunshine
We decided to extend the music offering for our third festival and opened the event on Friday evening with a great DJ set from Bobbie and Steve. This was followed by a blistering set courtesy of the Ben Waters Band which had everyone up dancing.
The festival continued from noon on Saturday, opening with a performance of Salsa drumming performed by children from our local primary schools, following a series of workshop rehearsals conducted at each of the participating schools. The workshops were very generously funded by Sandroyd Prep school.
We then had a performance by the community choir formed from scratch just a couple of weeks ahead of the festival. There was a really positive response from eager participants and audience. We look forward to extending this offering in 2025.
​
One of the major additions for this year was the red and white striped big top marquee we erected which proved very popular with musicians and audience alike. Look out for it again next year.
